I’m a freelance copywriter with over a decade of experience writing for small businesses and agencies. I create web copy, SEO blog posts, long-form content, ebooks, brochures, and email campaigns across both B2B and B2C. I’m strong in research, SEO, and content strategy, and I adapt easily to different briefs and tones of voice. I’m also a collaborative, easy person to work with—so communication is straightforward and projects run smoothly. And I have clients who say stuff like this: "Anna is an exceptionally talented writer. As an agency leader, working with Anna was a total joy — we always knew she'd deliver on time and to a standard that knocked our socks off." - Lauren Bennet, Content Lead at Scribly
