If you follow me on LinkedIn or know me in real life, you may already be aware that I was recently laid off by my most recent employer after three years.
The good news is that this means I’m available—for freelance jobs, a full-time position, or contract work. I’m not as cheap as Chat-GPT, but I do have original thoughts, so that’s a plus.
What do I do? A slogan/motto I have adopted recently is “I work with words”, and that’s as succinct a summation of what I do as I could think of. A more expansive answer is that I am a writer and copy editor with a vast range of experience in journalism, public relations, thought leadership, and marketing.
How vast? Here’s a list of some of the work I have done, in no particular order:
- Arts features
- Music criticism
- Interviews
- Press releases and pitches
- Social media posts
- White papers and reports
- Book reviews
- Ghostwritten op-eds
- Speeches and presentations
- Artist bios for record labels and independent musicians
- SEO-focused blog articles
- Landing page copy
That’s a lot of different kinds of writing (and editing), but the one thing that connects them all is that I do them all to a very high standard. But don’t just take my word for it; take my words for it. You can find samples of my work in a few different categories:
Thanks for your time. Got any leads? You know where to find me.
