I have a BS and MS in civil and environmental engineering with a sustainable built environments minor. Writing has been a passion for my lifetime and a side gig throughout my college years. I have an affinity for technical writing and research given my major, but also do article writing, blog writing, and creative writing. I have been published by the National Guard in a sustainability newsletter, in Applied Sciences journal by MDPI, and have been featured on many websites. I have also worked for a private writing agency, Writing Taskforce. I have very quick turnaround time without sacrificing integrity and quality of work. In addition to my article, blog, creative, and technical writing, I can do SEO content, product descriptions, proofreading, editing, and more.

"Jillian did outstanding work for us! She consistently met our due dates ahead of schedule and provided high quality work which required minimal editing. Thanks so much!"

"Loved working with Jillian. Her performance and quality of work are exceptional!" "Jillian does amazing work for us! All projects are completed ahead of schedule and the quality of work is top-notch." SEO Blog Writer | Ghostwriter | Editor | Pop Culture, Tech & Lifestyle | Fiction & Nonfiction Specialist I'm a writer and editor with fifteen years of experience helping brands find their voice, authors finish their books, and blog posts actually get read. On the writing side, I ghostwrite SEO content for NordVPN, breaking down complex cybersecurity topics for everyday readers. I write pop culture and personality-driven content for Truity, analyzing beloved TV and film characters through the lens of Myers-Briggs. And I've written brand and editorial copy for clients ranging from Salsbury Industries to the luxury perfume brand LARTEDELSENTIRE — which means I can shift tone and register to suit whatever world your brand lives in. On the fiction side, I ghostwrote the second and third books in the young-adult historical romance series THE FLAPPERS, and have self-published two novels of my own—experience that gives me a deep appreciation for research, voice, and brutal deadlines. I've spent fifteen years editing manuscripts for authors preparing to query agents or self-publish, doing track changes and revision letters that help writers get their work to the next level. What you can count on: clean, on-brand copy delivered ahead of schedule with minimal back-and-forth. My clients tend to stick around, and they'll tell you why.

Finding a writer who "sounds good" is easy. Finding one who understands why people click, buy, and come back is harder. That's what I do. My background is psychology and health sciences (4.0 GPA), plus a few years as a data analyst before I moved into copywriting full time. It shapes how I work. I pay attention to how people actually make decisions and where they drop off. Right now I write across a few different lanes: White papers and long-form thought leadership. I ghostwrite technical white papers for clients in supply chain tech and healthcare, 20+ completed so far. Authoritative, research-backed, written for the C-suite and senior decision-makers. Direct response and ad copy. Hooks, scripts, and landing pages for paid social and search, written to convert. Social media content and strategy. I build monthly content calendars, write captions, and develop video concepts for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Clients span healthcare, real estate, wellness, and eCommerce. Email marketing. I write sequences built around segmentation and behavioral triggers that move leads through the funnel without the hard sell. I also run conversion audits: I go through existing copy and flag where the messaging is losing people, with specific fixes. If you want copy that's sharp and strategic, and a writer who can tell you why it works, send me a message and let's talk about your project!

Over the last 20 years, I have built my career as a writer, editor and leader at media companies around one basic task: Effectively telling stories. That skill has been put into practice in various forms - through interviewing sources and researching facts for stories I was writing, combing through the written words of my employees to help them be better at doing the same, and leading an entire department in the creative direction of the stories we were planning to cover. My specialty is conveying what can sometimes be complicated topics into messages that targeted audiences can understand in a way that is both informative and fun to read. This allows me tell the "story" of an interesting resident of a town, break down complicated laws into layman's terms or help others do the same. I am experienced and proficient in AP Style, and can write and edit for all forms of media - be it in print, a newsletter or a blog - and can take on any topic in any field. I have earned the SuferSEO Content Optimization Certificate, which verifies that I'm well-versed with the important principles of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
