About Me

Hello,

Writing and storytelling has always been my passion!

I have 25+ years of experience writing for agencies, small firms and large Fortune 500 companies. Currently, I am a regular contributor to Forbes and Thrive Global and have been featured in publications like the New York Times, Entrepreneur, Inc. and Success Magazine. I have experience creating all types of copy, including but not limited to website content, email newsletters, blog posts, articles and social media posts. I also enjoy writing articles featuring interesting people and have been lucky enough to interview Arianna Huffington, Giuliana Rancic & Kendra Scott, among others. I am flexible, timely and easy to work with. You will only receive the highest quality work, and given my background, I can cover almost any industry or subject. For example, I have completed writing projects covering human resources, cybersecurity, retail, healthcare, technology and more.

I also have many years of experience in the corporate world as a marketing and lead generation expert. So, I understand the importance of creating copy that generates measurable results. For example, while at Forbes, I have completed close to 200 articles that have resulted in over 3.4 million pageviews.

You can view all the articles that I have published on Forbes here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinecastrillon

and I can provide many more writing samples as needed.

Here is a recent testimonial from one of my clients:

"If you’re looking for a writer who is willing to take the time to truly understand your business and needs, you need to look no further! She took the time to ask some key questions to better understand our goals. We’re grateful that we made the right choice. She exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by her talent but most important by her strong communication skills. No rock was left unturned with her extreme meticulous attention to detail. What truly separates her apart from other writers in this platform is that she wants to understand your mission, goals, purpose and she’ll take the time with you. If you’re looking for a professional you are here. Again, thank you Caroline!"

Please feel free to reach out to discuss your project. I look forward to working with you!
