Freelance B2B writer · Est. 2017

I write the words that turn a thirty-second visit into a thirty-minute customer story.

THE SHORT VERSION

I help fintech and developer-tools companies sound like the smartest person in the room — without the jargon. Long-form articles, launch copy, ghostwritten thought leadership.

HOW I WORK

Four weeks,
four steps,
no surprises.

Every project follows the same shape. Predictable enough that you can plan around it, flexible enough that we can do the actual work.


01

Listen

A 60-minute call to map what you sell, who buys it, and what they already half-believe.

02

Research

I read your docs, ride along on a sales call, and talk to two customers if I can.

03

Draft

A full first draft within ten working days. Editable, footnoted, ready to mark up.

04

Ship

Two structured rounds of revision, a clean handoff file, and a publishing checklist.

SERVICE PACKAGES

SAID IN WRITTING

What clients actually say.
