Linda Jones

I am a multi-faceted, award-winning freelancer and author who has covered everything from the historic elections in South Africa to the opening of a Starbucks in a Texas funeral home. I write for print and online publications and I can write to the style specifications of my clients. Feature and creative writing is my forte. I write clearly and am skilled at writing and editing news, features, technical and academic projects. Ability to navigate new media and social media platforms is in my repertoire of skills and I can write in SEO style for websites.
