Blog Posts
After years of writing a popular personal blog with a number of viral posts, I was able to bring my talent for longform writing to help shape Spokeo’s blog and direct-response marketing campaigns. I also have a substantial bibliography of published articles, including pieces about George R.R. Martin, Douglas Adams, and feminist interests in entertainment. Whether you’re looking to increase your SEO and PR, or creating direct-response pieces, I can help you reach customers at every point of the sales funnel.
