    Storytelling is one of humanity's oldest forms of communication. Written on the walls of caves were stories of tribespeople and their pursuit of prey. Carefully constructed into the steps of the Mayan ruins are symbols and reminders of sacrifices for their gods. We have taken our lives, our everyday interactions with one another, with the environment around us, and we have crafted tales of our trials and travails. After a decade of writing professionally, I have learned many things about the artistic process of writing: adaptability is paramount. Who we are writing for, why we are writing it, and where the writing will go - well, these are the questions that should define how we choose to structure our work. I've contributed content to just about every corner of writing you can imagine. From mathematics textbook content to long-form journalistic writing to casual blog posts to full-length books, I have contributed my approach to writing with the utmost care for the writing process. I believe that quality writing comes with time and careful consideration. While some writers are keen to write quick and concise work, I think that the most powerful writing is done with purpose. I can provide you with precisely that: creative purpose. Whether it be the production of science education content, a chapter in your fiction novel, or casual blog content, I will make sure that your project explodes with creativity and excitement. I look forward to hearing from you and can't wait to collaborate on the human tradition we all owe our existence to: storytelling. Noah

    My name is Tyler Baron and I am a specialized YouTube manager and consultant. I provide a unique all around service to my clients that stems from my 8+ years of experience as a full time YouTuber. My goal is to give you the best possible chance to be successful on YouTube by helping you avoid the pitfalls that can harm your channel and help you bring your content to a new level of polish while simultaneously improving your SEO to get your content in front of your target audience. I'm extremely flexibly on how we work together and offer a variety of ways to help improve your channel and content. • I can teach you to edit with professional software, creating specialized tutorials for what you want to do, or edit your videos myself to ensure they have the polish and professional touch they need to succeed. I can also help teach you techniques to expedite your editing so it takes less of your time while the final product looks more fluid and sharp. • I teach how to make eyecatching thumbnails or create them myself to help client's videos stand out from the competition, while also helping avoid easy mistakes that may hurt your audience click-through rate. • I give notes on scripts, videos, SEO, and analytics to help you better understand why I think your videos are performing the way they currently are and what you could do to improve their performance in the future. • I'm typically able to answer any and all questions within a half hour of being messaged. I encourage my clients to message me whenever they're unsure of something so we can get it right the first time and they're ready if the situation comes up again. All of this is completely maliable to your schedule and financial needs. I can work with you as often as you want or as little as a few hours a month, but the idea is not to be reliant on me forever. I want to teach you how YouTube works early on, help you make a plan for your channel, and be available for all questions and help you need, but as you learn more, you'll need me less and less to the point we might only need to meet once every month or so. If what I offer sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to message me and we can set a meeting to see how compatible we'd be working together. I've co-founded three channels to date: YouTube.com/Treesicle, YouTube.com/BonsaiPop and our newest channel that doesn't yet have a vanity link: YouTube.com/channel/UCcMIsxIbih2JURvK6hrA7yA The channels respectively have +900,000 subscribers, +200,000 subscribers, and +7,000 subscribers. I currently am working exclusively on Bonsai Pop while consulting on the side. My entire career revolves around creating successful YouTube channels that bring in a dedicated fan base, sponsors, Patreon pledges, and ad revenue. I can help you better your content to give your videos the best possible chance to reach the audience you're looking for on YouTube. Whether you're looking for constructive criticism on how to bring your content to the next level, SEO help to ensure your videos reach the people they deserve to, or eye catching art that will attract the attention you want and drive clicks, I am an entire knowledge base of experience with YouTube to help guide you to making your channel successful. Send me a message and let's see what I can do for you.

    Hello there! I’m Jamie, and my goals as a content writer are simple: 1. Utilize SEO best practices and keyword strategy to improve your search engine ranking and boost organic traffic. 2. Keep people on your website by providing information they can use and content they want to read. I've helped drive organic traffic for clients in the utility locating, pest control, legal, technology, cleaning, cannabis, and urethane industries, among others. Believe it or not, all of this started with bed bugs. In 2019, I interned with a full-scale digital marketing agency in Cleveland, Ohio, where I was introduced to copywriting for the first time and instructed to write 600 words on why bed bugs are so hard to remove from apartments. For the next year and a half, I wrote articles about every aspect of bed bug removal as I fulfilled three different roles at the agency: intern, freelancer, and eventually full-time content specialist. I wrote blogs, articles, landing pages, and social media captions for multiple companies in my time at the agency, but the pests I wrote about at the beginning remain close to my heart. Let's face it, not everyone can say that they found their dream career thanks to bed bugs. Today, I am a freelance copywriter working behind the scenes to provide high-quality, engaging copy that brings value to your business. From short blurbs to high-level overviews to "I Tried It" blogs, I can easily pick up a brand voice and tailor content to exceed client expectations. Excellent English and grammar skills, along with efficient and thorough research abilities, help me produce the copy you've been looking for.

    I’ve been a book nerd for as long as I can remember. My mother was a librarian so I spent countless hours exploring the stacks in search of hidden knowledge. An intrepid researcher, I figured out the card catalog and Dewey decimal system to help me find all the secrets I craved. These days, my research techniques have evolved, but some things haven’t changed. I am always surrounded by piles of books and I lose hours researching my latest obsessions. How does this translate to my work? I know that information, presented in the right way, can captivate. From books to articles, blog posts to newsletters, everything I write is focused on the reader's experience. And that experience begins even before they land on the content I’m creating — because to read it, they need to find it. That means I’ve had to get savvy with everything from SEO best practices to social media marketing to make sure my audience finds what I have to offer. As a full-time freelancer, relationship building has been essential to my success. I rely on individuals and organizations having a good experience working with me, such that they will return to collaborate again and again. That means I make sure to clearly understand the scope and requirements of the project, take budgets and deadlines seriously, and promptly incorporate any feedback and edits into my work. SKILLS SUMMARY •Clear and engaging writing that connects with readers. •Ability to convey feeling and emotion. •Creates reader-focused content, tailored to the desired outcome. •Detail-oriented and able to meet deadlines. •Attention to project requirements and content standards for each client. •Skilled at finding and interviewing sources. •Experienced storyteller, from the page to the stage. •Remote work with local and international clients.

    Visit my profile on Medium @stocktonjones for a few samples of my writing. INTRODUCTION I'm a talented and adaptable freelance writer, researcher, and editor with an unusual skill for strengthening arguments and ideas. That talent is supported by my academic credentials and extensive professional experience. As someone with a background in both science and law, I approach my writing and editing services with an analytical mindset, whether it's writing something from scratch, offering feedback on something you've already written, or researching a complex topic to explain it in simple terms. Working together, we can turn a rough draft or a good idea into an extraordinary piece of writing. BACKGROUND & QUALIFICATIONS I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry and a Master of Science degree in bioorganic and biomedical chemistry from Northern Arizona University, and a Juris Doctorate degree from the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College. My scientific and technical research and writing skills were honed during my time as a research scientist working on small molecule analogs for bioactive proteins and peptides and perfected over the years in my professional career. My legal research and writing skills were taken to the next level in law school where I drafted papers and reviews on subjects including technology transfer and licensing, criminal law, and federal income tax law. My professional work puts to use my unique combination of scientific research, legal research, and both scientific and legal writing skills. Although the bulk of my work focuses on topics relating to biotechnology, chemistry, and chemical engineering, I have written extensively in many other technical areas including aerospace, semiconductors, electronics, and energy production and storage. In addition to being a skilled legal and technical writer, I am also the author of several published works of fiction. Creative writing became a passion and a hobby for me at a very early age, and it’s something that continues to bring me joy into adulthood. My work is primarily short fiction and has been published in a variety of academic and literary journals. SPECIALTIES I specialize in editing, proofreading, and ghost-writing term papers, theses, dissertations, book chapters, and journal articles. As a former instructor of undergraduate classes, I know the style and content your professors want to see. As a former student, I know that a well-written paper is not only important to earn a good grade in your class, but can also be a springboard to further your career in academia. A few other specialties include: - Writing application and cover letters to help make your college application shine, or to land the perfect fellowship or job - Summarizing highly complex and/or technical content to make it accessible to a general audience. If you need to explain Ph.D.-level subject matter to a five-year-old, I’m your guy. - Writing compelling and engaging copy, including landing pages, welcome emails, blog posts, product descriptions, e-mail marketing campaigns, and more - Crafting informative and authoritative whitepapers on technically complex topics - Conducting literature research related to chemistry and biotechnology and writing academic papers and articles - Conducting research on a wide range of legal topics and writing academic papers and articles - Technical writing which instructs and informs the reader, such as user manuals or how-to articles - Scientific and legal journalism

    I'm a freelance writer and editor with bylines in The New York Times, Sierra, Oregon Business Magazine, The Guardian, BBC Travel, Curbed, Playboy, Lonely Planet, Eater, and more. I like to dig around; explore the darker, dusty corners of the world; get lost in rabbit holes of curiosity; and craft stories that make connections between communities, places, and the natural world. In addition to feature writing for national publications, I help brands tell their stories through copywriting, social media, content strategizing, branding, and search engine optimization (SEO). I am particularly interested in exploring environmental issues and the unexpected ways that humans impact the planet—both the good and the bad. Our changing climate overlaps with just about every story, and I believe it's important to bring awareness and sustainable solutions to the forefront of all verticals, in both journalism and branded content. In a nutshell, I'm curious about all people and places, and I love the challenge of connecting the dots with words.

    Hire me to articulate the tricky thing you've been trying to communicate. I love to interpret nuanced and complex ideas into a format that is user-friendly and memorable. Some key details about my experiences: - I've been writing plays since high school, and have professional credits as a theatre producer and playwright in the Boston area. My plays have earned critical praise, and invited people to consider thorny topics with new perspectives. - I taught screenwriting, playwriting, and dramatic literature at four colleges over the course of five years. During that time, I supported hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students as they developed their concepts and scripts for TV, Film, and Web Series. On RateMyProfessor I have a 5.0 rating and, even more prestigious, a "chili pepper". - I worked as an admission counselor at Emerson College for 6 years, and subsequently used that knowledge while supporting college applicants as a College Essay Coach for several years at My College Audition. You'll love me. I'm disarming, I have no poker face, and I'm told I have a memorable way of describing things.
