Freelance Copywriting Experience

2013

I’ve recently begun writing emails and landing pages for a company specializing in lead management and demand generation. I continue to work with Rising Media to provide press releases and emails.

During January-February, I completed 52 400-word state profiles covering the marketing industry for a lead generation company, including profiles on D.C. and Puerto Rico. In April, I drafted two overview articles on online marketing & accounting programs.

Other projects included SEO recommendations for a North Shore law firm and a Newburyport life coach, as well as PR work for eartheaded.com.

2012

During Spring-Summer 2012, I tackled short writing projects, including an article about Pinot Noir winemaking in New Zealand, samples for an audio tour company and a Salem history audio script.

I also completed name branding for an Artificial Intelligence start-up and editorial work for eartheaded.com.

In the Autumn of 2013, I partnered with North Shore agencies Tomlinson LLC and Flying Cloud Design to write copy for B2B and B2C websites; all writing incorporates SEO principles.

Throughout this time I provided Rising Media with press releases on online marketing & analytics conferences and tackled a series of SEO articles on the topic of higher education & criminal justice for a lead generation company.

2011

In April of 2011, I began working on contract projects with George P. Johnson, a global event management agency. Their key focus is engagement – finding ways to inspire action and loyalty among event attendees. To date, I have provided SEO copywriting and website strategy, emails and case studies.

In the latter part of 2011 and in January 2012, I worked as a contract copywriter with PetEdge, a wholesale pet supply company in Beverly, MA. Work include extensive copy editing, as well as product copy, advertising copy and PR initiatives.

2010

In 2010, I spent eight months writing for McDougall Interactive, an award-winning internet marketing firm offering search engine optimization (SEO), content development, PPC, analytics, link building and social media.

Work included SEO copywriting and editing for eCommerce sites, banks, law firms, golf resorts, restaurants, B2B manufacturers and colleges. I was also involved in a number of social media campaigns and collaborations on internet marketing strategy.

2007-2009

During these years, I worked closely with Catalog Design Studios, writing catalog copy and headlines for wildlife control suppliers, food companies and New England craftspeople.

In partnership with Stackpole & Partners, I tackled web and print projects, including white papers, ads, websites and print collateral for non-profits, automotive leasing companies, banks and law firms.

2005-2006

I experienced hands-on training in every stage of the marketing process as a marketing coordinator with WIDE World at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Work included:

• Writing the monthly newsletter, marketing collateral and articles for educational publications
• Helping draft email and print campaigns and tracking their effectiveness
• Collaborating with other departments on the new website and trade show display

In my previous work as a regular book reviewer for the California Literary Review, I have also written essays and conducted interviews.

Obscure Claim to Fame

I hold a PhD in Anglo-Saxon Literature from the University of Cambridge, England. My thesis was on the “Heroic Tradition in the Old English Riddles,” a compilation of evocative and bawdy poems written in the language of Beowulf. Find them translated into modern English at the Kalamazoo Riddle Group.
