About Me

I'm a twenty-year veteran of the publishing and software industries. Over the years, my written work has included marketing pieces, how-to articles, blog posts, video scripts, proposals, and pitch decks.

Most recently, I worked (remotely) for Stockholm-based Plotagon AB, where among other things I was responsible for the vast majority of their web copy, email newsletters, blog posts, social media posts, and knowledge base content. Having worked extensively with international firms over the past decade, I am adept at writing, editing, and adapting English text for global audiences.

I am also an active and efficient ghostwriter, particulary for corporate and nonprofit markets. Samples available upon request.
