Your organization is on a mission. My stories are, too.

Let me guess: Your organization has a big, ambitious goal to make the world a better place.

I love to see it! But doing world-changing work is one thing. Telling the world about it is another. Whether you’re leading a membership association, a university magazine or a brand website, you need powerful stories that get your audience on board, and ideally move them to action.

This is where I come in. As a content writer for organizations and brands like yours, I know how to package essential information within compelling stories that advance your mission.

The best part? I do it all quickly and reliably, so you can spend less time managing the editorial calendar, and more time focusing on the great work you’re doing out in the world.

'When I give Mike an assignment, I don't have to worry about the outcome'

“I’m always looking for strong profile writers who can tell a member’s story in a compelling narrative journalism style—not just a chronology of their schooling and career. … Mike more than met those expectations right out of the gate. He has become one of my go-to profile writers.

When I give Mike an assignment, I know I don’t have to worry about the outcome. It will be beautifully written, pulling out some compelling stories from the source, and also address the nuances for our particular membership audience. In addition, he’s easy to work with, personable, requires little editing and always meets his deadlines.”

— Melanie Padgett Powers, freelance editor for membership associations

How we’ll work together

I get it: Being an editor is stressful. When you hire me, you’ll have one less thing to worry about. Here’s how my process works.

📥 We’ll kick things off with an assignment brief and a clear deadline. I’ll make sure I understand exactly what you need before I start my research and writing.

🕵 I’ll set off on my treasure hunt. I’ll interview the relevant sources, whether they’re a CEO or a Nobel Prize winner (I’ve interviewed both!) and gather the information I need. Then I’ll assemble it into a story that’s compelling and concise.

📑 You’ll receive my draft in Google Docs. You can expect clean copy, suggested headlines, links to source material, and ideas for photos or graphics.

✅ We’ll revise it together. With your feedback front-and-center, I’ll make any necessary tweaks to ensure the piece lands in the right place.
