Amber's Freelance Writer Portfolio
Are you looking for a talented web content writer?
Well, I have a love for the written word, but I also have a love for keywords. Sigh.
Passionate About SEO
I pride myself on crafting blog posts, web pages, email marketing campaigns or even a simple email with the kiss of SEO perfection.
In fact, all my clients tell me this.
Compelling Content Matters
If you're not worried so much about search engine optimization, I can tell a story too. I have a masters in creative writing.
Even the simplest about page deserves a good story. Otherwise, why bother reading.
But, I don't stop with expertly crafted SEO or a compelling story, I also get a kick out of meeting deadlines. Hitting send sends a shiver down my fingernails (yes, that's possible).
I can usually meet deadlines writing about any topic. My expertise is varied; ranging from health and fitness to digital marketing. I've also been known to write about parenting, infertility, and chocolate.
But, I don't like to pin myself in. I know how to research topics like a pro.
Researched Freelance Writing
I can craft blog posts, website content, eBooks, and more.
Check out some of my publications, but most of my work is ghostwritten without publication credit. Kinda like being a mom or a university English instructor (I'm both by the way). I really don't need recognition, but it does give me a deep sense of pride.
I'm Amber.
A freelance writer for hire. Nice to meet you!
Send me an email at amber@penandparent.com. I'm an experienced writer with reasonable rates.
Thank you for stopping by.
