Polished, ready-to-publish feature articles and custom content writing
Hello! I’m Renee, an Iowa-born, San Francisco-based writer and editor with a journalist’s interviewing skills, a copywriter’s creativity, and strategic storytelling expertise.
I launched my freelance business 18 years ago. For subsequent projects, I’ve tasted my way through Alaska’s breweries, interviewed Sir Richard Branson, crafted ice cream package copy, penned a book chapter about Volkswagen bus owners, and explored five countries on inline skates.
I’ve reported stories for National Geographic Traveler, Sierra, the San Francisco Chronicle, BBC Travel, Via, Zagat, United Hemispheres, American Way, Travel Weekly, and dozens of other outlets.
As a freelance content writer and copywriter, I’ve also worked with companies like Buick, Humana, Google, and Pebble Beach Resorts. My portfolio includes B2B content, profiles, annual reports, newsletters, web copy, and more.
