Thanks for checking out my profile! I am Maria Hypponen, a communications and editorial professional with more than 15 years of experience serving organizations and individuals who want to inform, delight, and persuade their audiences.
As a writer and communications advisor, I plan, develop, and write a wide variety of content to help my clients share compelling stories with their audiences. I write blog posts, articles, case studies, e-newsletters, media releases, whitepapers, and e-books.
As an editor, I help clients refine their written communications so they are clear, consistent, and error-free. Whether you have a series of blog posts that need polishing, or an e-book that needs soup-to-nuts development, I can help your words shine.
As a freelance back-of-the-book indexer, I write accurate, elegant, and thoughtful indexes for books on a range of topics--from Aboriginal issues to urban studies and so much more.
I look forward to helping you make the most of your content!
