nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
As a seasoned writer and editor, I create high-quality, engaging content that educates, differentiates, and inspires readers to think and take action.
My specialties include: B2B and B2C articles, creative nonfiction, developmental editing, editorials, ghostwriting, long-form content, manuals, reports, strategic correspondence, storytelling, and thought-leadership content.
Topic areas of expertise include: agriculture, association/nonprofit communications, foodways, the fresh produce industry, healthy eating, nutrition, and nutrition policy.
My work benefits from a background in journalism and decades in public relations and corporate communications. Together, this experience has gifted me a heightened ability to understand complex topics, recognize important target audience benefits, and capture the style and voice of people and brands in writing.
Plus, I work hard to be easy to work with. I’m positive and friendly, attentive and objective, and respectful of clients’ time and needs. Based in Pennsylvania, I’ve been running a successful freelance business since 2007.
The chief marketing officer at a global trade association needed a B2B article introducing the organization’s new direction to a strategically different target audience. I worked with the CMO and vice president of consumer affairs to create a messaging platform that spoke to the association’s becoming a bigger voice in wider circles of influence. I then turned those messages into an opinion piece carrying the CMO’s byline.

A non-profit landed an exclusive with a leading trade publication for a five-part series of management advice articles. The public relations lead retained me to ghostwrite all five articles bylined by the vice president. The project included interviewing staff and outside experts in addition to ghostwriting each 500-word article of the series. This sample is one of the five articles written for the project.

I work one-on-one with communication teams and thought leaders to create high-quality, engaging content that educates, differentiates, and inspires readers to think and take action. My approach to ghostwriting ensures your message gets expressed in a way that authentically represents who you are and what you stand for. My developmental editing support takes what you've already written and provides guidance on how to get your ideas across more clearly and powerfully.
