Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile. I'm a professional content writer with over 12 years of experience. My recent background is primarily content creation for SEO agencies and website developers. Of late, a single agency has been reserving almost all my time, leading me to turn additional business away. However, at this point, it seems to make strategic sense to expand my customer base so that I am not dependent on potentially fluctuating workloads from a single source. I'm therefore willing to consider serious offers from other companies seeking a freelance writer. When considering opportunities for bulk work, my usual approach is to complete a sample article. This allows me to gauge expectations and set outcomes-based pricing. It also provides prospective clients with an opportunity to evaluate my skill as a researcher and writer and to determine whether I am a good fit. I do not use AI, never plagiarize, and never subcontract to other writers. I am known for my reliability and, if exceptional circumstances that may affect delivery on or before deadlines arise, I will communicate promptly if this is humanly possible. Prior to becoming a freelance writer, I was a business co-owner, marketing manager and strategist active in an agribusiness employing up to 100 people. In my current role, this allows me to write with particular confidence when covering business management, HRM, and marketing topics. However, I enjoy discovering new knowledge areas and have been able to write with authority in engineering, tech, and healthcare-related areas thanks to my willingness to conduct thorough research. Contact me if you are interested in a long-term relationship with a professional content writer.

Experience

Senior Writer

InDepth Publications
Mar 2015 - Present
My editor posted the following profile on the company's wesite: "Andrea has a long history of writing including bespoke projects for scientific websites and journals ...Today she heads our writing team, tackling a variety of different industries with confidence and aplomb. The breadth of her knowledge is matched only by the quality of her work and we are blessed to have her as part of our publishing family. "

Talk show host

Eden FM (Radio station)
Jul 2013 - Aug 2014 (1 year, 1 month)
This was a part time job, and I really enjoyed it. I know talking isn't the same as writing, but I did have to prepare basic scripts. Unfortunately the demands of winding up my other job, which included developing a new business strategy, became too great, and I could no longer broadcast 3 mornings a week.

Manager: sales and marketing

New Plant Nursery
Sep 2002 - Feb 2014 (11 years, 5 months)
It started as a great job. Then I became a business partner, and I discovered something: I can write! Letters, job descriptions, policies, articles, press releases, newsletters, emails to difficult clients, work systems. Hey! I can even write a short story or two, but I did that in my own time. These days, I prefer the quiet life of the freelance writer.
