I started writing because I liked making things up. Fiction, mostly. 🌝
Then I discovered people would actually pay me to write things that were, unfortunately, true. So I got into professional content writing in 2020 and have been poking around the internet ever since.
What I really like is figuring things out. Give me cool or complicated software, a new product, a boring industry or a customer problem and I’ll disappear down a research rabbit hole. I want to know what the product does, who it’s for, why anyone should care and, most importantly, what the interesting story is.
These days, I sit somewhere between content, marketing and search. I think about the audience, the product, the search landscape and the story, then turn all of that thinking into content people can actually understand and use. Ain’t nothing wrong with ranking or being found. All lovely stuff, ranking is lovely, but if someone lands on your page and still doesn’t understand why your product matters, we’ve all just wasted everyone’s time.
When I’m not writing or creating content, I’m probably buried head deep in a novel and scooping up horrendous amounts of ice cream into my mouth.
