UPWORK EXPERT-VETTED WRITER (Top 1%)

Hi, I'm Russ – a tech copywriter, technical writer, email marketing specialist (and developer) specializing in B2B SaaS long-form content, and who's written anything (and everything) from articles, blog posts, and case studies, through to user manuals, video sales letters, and white papers.
With decades of experience writing for global companies across cybersecurity, maritime, telecoms, publishing, and more, I understand the critical importance of quality content today. If your content isn't increasing engagement, boosting conversions, and enhancing your brand awareness, then it's not serving its purpose.
Clients often struggle to find skilled, deadline-driven writers. I take pride in never missing a deadline. With my proven background...

I guarantee excellence, and hiring me will be the easiest (and best) decision you'll ever make.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you've checked out my profile, you'll see how highly my clients regard my skills, experience, and work ethic...
...and when combined with my technical background, a First-Class Honors degree in English Language (Summa Cum Laude), qualification as an English teacher, and Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Word Expert certification, it's an unbeatable combination.
A combination that's guaranteed to enthuse and engage your readers, while guiding them down the page, and speeding them to take the next steps in their journey with you.
The real benefit? You get to focus valuable time on your business.

No more inferior content, wasted time, money, or patience.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What price peace-of-mind?
Rest assured, if anyone can shoulder this load and get it right the first time, it's me.
A veteran writer for top B2B SaaA and Fortune 100+ companies for over 2 decades, I've consistently produced high-performing content and copy including:
• Helping generate an equivalent $21,000/month Google ad-spend within six months through content creation.
• Assisting an Application Security start-up in establishing authority, positioning, and trust through impactful blogs, case studies, and white papers within months.
• Creating an Occupational Health and Safety System that not only gained regulatory approval but was also recommended to other companies by the regulator as an example of good practice.
• Increasing SaaS user retention, leads, prospects, and sales through impactful email user journeys for several cyber-clients.

Simplifying the complex
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As a part-time developer and a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), my superpower is simplifying the complex. This background, skills, and experience allow me to transform stiff, technical topics into easy-to-read, entertaining, and engaging content that captivates readers from start to finish.
QA & QC trained
Having served as an instructor in the British Army (infantry) and spent three years working in QA and QC, it's no surprise that I excel at entertaining readers with highly polished, meticulously researched, and completely engaging content.
And when it's time to sell, no one does it better.

AI will never cut it
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Besides, you're probably sick and tired of bad content and experiences? (I know I am.)
No-one's disputing that AI will improve, faster than we ever can. But it'll never get to the stage where it can understand your products or services like you do. (Neither would you want it to.)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
That's why your content MUST work for you from the outset.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If you have plans for impactful blogs, social media posts, emails, landing pages, white papers, and funnels that require expert treatment...
... then I'm the writer you've been searching for.
And if you want to reclaim more time, experience less stress, and have the absolute best content in your industry...
...then contact me today.

I've been working in IT and cybersecurity for over 20 years, and honestly I still enjoy the work as much as I did when I started. I've had the chance to work across pretty much every corner of security, from SOC operations, threat hunting, incident response, vulnerability assessments, up to pentesting and GRC, which means I can usually figure out where a problem is coming from, not just patch it and move on.
Automation is something I do both professionally and for my own projects. I build workflows, data pipelines, and AI integrations that actually solve problems rather than create new ones. If your tools aren't talking to each other or your team is drowning in manual tasks, that's usually where I can help the most.
I hold a Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals certification and a Torq Automation Analyst credential, and I've taught cybersecurity at a Masters level, having learned to cut the jargon and just get to the point of what is needed.
I speak Spanish and English fluently as well.
If any of this sounds like what you need, feel free to reach out.
