Services

Impactful storytelling to connect, engage, and inspire.

As a writer, editor, and content producer, I collaborate with brands and publications to craft character-driven stories of outdoor adventure and social and environmental impact.

What I do—and why.

From ideation and pitching stories through publication and promotion, I partner with my clients—and other creatives—every step of the way to deliver all writing and supporting visuals. I’m experienced in brainstorming, developing strategies for, and writing articles, blog posts, emails, and website copy; long-form journalism and narrative storytelling; crafting concepts and copy for marketing campaigns; and storyboarding, scriptwriting, and creative storytelling via film.

‍

In weaving narratives that speak to each client’s mission, values, and audience, I aim to share truly local stories that carry universal themes to inspire global understanding, connection, and action.

‍

How can we work together?

As a writer, editor, and content producer, I have experience in pitching original story ideas—based on clients’ unique goals—and also in responding to and running with compelling concepts and projects clients have already mapped out.

‍

No matter where you are on your storytelling journey, partner with me to carry an idea from conception through completion, or contract me to apply my skills, expertise, and experience to any part of your storytelling project.

Testimonials

My clients are valued creative collaborators.

I admire and respect the work they do and am grateful for their belief and partnership not only in bringing meaningful stories to life but also in giving them a home. Here’s what a few of my clients say about our work together.

“Emily is an out-of-the-box thinker, a talented writer, and a true team player. From day one, Emily wrapped her head around the REI Co-op brand and was quick to dream up story ideas that would resonate with our audiences. As a writer, she submits flawless copy, and she’s a true pleasure to collaborate with throughout the editing process. She’s easy to work with, amenable to edits, and clearly relishes the creative process. If you’re looking for someone with big, bold ideas and a true knack for storytelling, go with Emily!”
