About Me

Hi, I'm Zanny, a freelance writer with nine years of experience. My writing career began with blogs and destination-focused articles for travel magazines that accompanied my own travels, then I got into copywriting when I lived as an expat in Cambodia. In my role as lead copywriter for a bicycle tour company, I learned the ins and outs of SEO and marketing content writing from a professional marketing team. While I continued that role for three years in a freelance capacity, I also began taking on other copywriting and journalism assignments. I've helped startups find their voices and put together marketing plans, have written top-ranking articles for a number of businesses in a few different industries, and have supported small and established businesses alike with strong, engaging content. My work has appeared in Insider, HuffPost, Scuba Diving Magazine, and Daily Dot, among other outlets. I consider travel, food & beverage, and wellness content as my areas of expertise, although I'm down for any project that fosters human connection and growth!
