CopywriterWriterEditor

Whether it's articles or blogs; case studies or advertorials; white papers, e-books, or print books, choose an award-winning writing and editing pro with 40 years of experience to handle your needs. My experience spans a wide range of subjects, encompassing--but not limited to--technology (including emerging technology, such as artificial intelligence), electronic payments, healthcare, the business of retail and medical practice, and meetings and conventions. I've written/ghost-written articles, white papers, thought-leadership documents, advertorials, case studies, blog posts, press releases, books, and e-books. I also have experience in "book coaching"--helping authors to shape and write their own books. I pride myself on submitting clean, compelling copy in a timely manner, as well as on my ability to learn very quickly about areas/industries I have not covered in the past. I am a very adept interviewer and researcher and can easily establish a level of comfort with my "subjects" that allows me to make the

Tessa White

Los Angeles, CA

CopywriterWriterAccount manager

My goal is to work with words in any capacity, if it be editing, proofing, reshaping, inventing, or deleting. Online or off, I love lifestyle writing – from culture to retail. I can freestyle and riff or I can stay structured and detailed. I’ve freelanced with websites to promote their product and brand through word choice, both precise and creative. I’ve built online newsletters, blogged, and written short stories. I’ve also spent five years working as a product manager for two major ecommerce sites, and learned the intricacies of building a product with a team of designers, developers, sales and clients. I work well with a team but I’m also autonomous; both are necessary for a well-rounded foundation. Over the past two years I focused my efforts on founding and running The Writing Club, a creative writing program for elementary students in San Francisco. I wrote the curriculum, built the lesson plans, and taught more than fifty students over two years.

Brianna Soloski

Reno, NV

CopywriterEditorWriter

I'm a storyteller, editor, and comms professional. My versatility as a writer has provided me with opportunities to write fiction, creative non-fiction, feature articles (about human cannonballers, no less), lifestyle content, financial content, real estate content, event planning content, fundraising appeals (direct mail and email), magazine/newspaper pitches, and more. In addition to my extensive writing experience outlined above, I have experience writing about tech topics and developing content (white papers, briefing papers, newsletters, webinars) on topics related to the construction and trade union industry. I'm obsessed with the Oxford Comma and can spot a typo a mile away. I'm a lifelong bookworm who dreams of having an in-home library. I pride myself on being a well of useless pop culture knowledge, and can do the New York Times crossword puzzle without Googling (most days)! I’m open to freelance opportunities and can provide a portfolio upon request. I can be reached via email at briannas

Andrew Crystal

New York, NY

ResearcherProducer (television)Fact-Checker

Experienced senior researcher, political consultant, attorney, and news junkie. I'm a voracious follower of the 24-hour news cycle and understand what issues shape and drive media coverage. As a consultant, I conduct legal and opposition research for various political clients, including for legislative, judicial, and prosecutorial races. As a Senior News Producer for Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, I lead a team of researchers conducting investigative research into the modern cultural and political landscape that forms the factual backbone of an episode. I then create the initial story structure, theme, and narrative arc for the episode before handing it off to the writing team. This unique storytelling experience gives me a leg up because I understand how to carefully craft a narrative that deeply resonates with a diverse audience. In both of these capacities, I must transform complicated research into communications strategies designed to tell the most compelling, emotional, and persuasive stories that
