Freelance writer at Dawn Papandrea Content Services
For 20+ years, my journalism experience has run the gamut: editing magazines; writing for national and online publications; blogging and social media management; and providing editorial services and content marketing writing services. Writing specialties include personal finance, higher education, marketing, careers, and lifestyle content.
Whether it's an in-depth ebook or whitepaper, an entertaining feature article, blog posts, or slideshow copy, my content is all about generating brand awareness and improving audience engagement. I also provide corporate editorial services to make everything from B2B marketing campaigns to company newsletters shine.
No matter the audience or the client, the fundamentals of journalism that I learned at New York University and during my two decades as a journalist and editor will always be central to my work. If you’re looking for a professional who’s passionate and believes that at the heart of winning content is great storytelling, then I’d love the opportunity to work with you.
