nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I am British (from Scotland), 42 years old and I have lived in Würzburg, Germany since March 2001. I have been married since 2010, and I am shortly about to apply for dual British-German citizenship.
I have been writing for 28 years, it is now my full-time occupation, and I have been published in many publications. I have also done work in Scottish youth radio as a presenter & reporter, as well as appearing on TV.
I attended journalism school in England from 1992-1993, therefore I am proficient in journalism skills including shorthand, media law, touch-typing & investigative journalism. I even know what a typewriter is.
As part of my journalism training, I worked at various British newspapers and news wire agencies having stories published and gaining valuable work experience.
I can also speed-read at approximately 650-700 words a minute, which means I can blitz through books and research materials.
You can see an almost-full list of my published articles by going to http://www.markoneill.org and clicking the link at the top for my “published work”.
I am now a writer experienced in various niches such as internet, technology, software, online privacy & security, and business.
Want to see what clients are saying about me? Here's a selection :
"Mark is one of the fastest and most natural writers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! Finding a solid, reliable writer is difficult. Mark is really a great find!" - Mark Daoust, Quiet Light.
"Mark is consistently one of the best writers out there. In-depth, to the point, and sticking to his guns" - Brian Wallace, NowSourcing.
"A mentor and the go-to guy for advice. That’s how I can describe Mark in a short sentence. Give Mark a lukewarm topic and rest assured he will pour some life into it" - Saikat Basu, MakeUseOf
"Without him, I wouldn’t be earning a living in this industry today. He’s been a mentor to me" - Tina Sieber, MakeUseOf.
Here are all my work samples going back to 1989. The most recent ones need to be added, but it is only 2-3. So the list is pretty much up-to-date.

At Quiet Light Brokerage, I am responsible for all of their content creation needs. From blog posts to guest posts to sales copy. I am also in charge of their social media strategy. In October 2016, I took over the Content Management Director position, but I stopped in February 2017 because it was becoming too bureaucratic. It was therefore taking me away from my first love, which is writing and creating. I am now back to my original duties.
