I developed my writing and editing chops in the niche field of technology journalism, working for MacAddict, Macworld, Peachpit Press, Wired, and other publications. I engaged readers, provided helpful advice, and de-mystified technology (while meeting crazy deadlines).
I brought this same approach to the marketing departments of technology companies, where the readers are customers or prospective customers. I still try to frame all communications in terms of helpfulness (the essential framework of content marketing), and I still de-mystify technology as much as possible, while emphasizing each product’s ability to solve real-world problems.
As a writer, I reflect each company’s written voice, or I help to cultivate that voice through watching presentations of the company’s most powerful evangelists. As an editor, I bring the copy to a higher, more persuasive standard, free of errors, but also aligned with the company’s voice, all while enhancing each writer’s individuality.
From 2014 to 2024, I worked as an independent consultant, wrote a book, and performed a developmental edit of a self-help book on how to think more effectively.
Currently, I’m working as a content marketing manager for Denodo.
