Editing, content writing, and SEO support

Whether you need an existing library edited into shape, new content written from scratch, or SEO support behind the scenes. Every engagement ends the same way: a piece that's researched, readable, and ready to publish. You can see the results in my portfolio.

01

Editing

Good editing is invisible: readers just notice the piece suddenly makes sense. It's also the work I'm most senior in. I'll tighten arguments, fix structure, and polish sentences until the writing gets out of the reader's way.

What's included

  • Substantive and developmental editing
  • Copy editing for clarity, tone, and consistency
  • Rewriting pieces that need more than polish
  • SEO optimization of existing articles

Ideal for: content libraries that underperform, in-house drafts that need an outside eye, and AI-generated content that needs a human pass.

02

Content writing

Original content, researched and written from a blank page. I handle the interviews, the source-checking, and the structure, and you get a piece that sounds like your brand and earns its place in search results.

What's included

  • SEO blog posts and long-form guides
  • Thought leadership, including researched, interview-based profiles
  • Guest posts under your brand's byline
  • Web copy, newsletters, and LinkedIn content

Ideal for: brands building organic traffic, founders who need a credible voice on the page, and marketing teams with more ideas than hours.

03

SEO content support

The unglamorous work that makes content findable. I do the research, write the briefs, and handle the upload, so your content goes live optimized, not just delivered.

What's included

  • Keyword research with Ahrefs, Surfer SEO, and Google Keyword Planner
  • Content briefs your writers can actually follow
  • On-page optimization: headings, meta, internal links
  • Upload-ready delivery in WordPress or Contentful

Ideal for: teams that want content live without a handoff chain, and brands whose good writing isn't getting found.

Process

How we'll work together

  1. Brief & goals

    We agree on the topic, audience, goal, and format, in writing, so nothing drifts.

  2. Research & outline

    Keyword research, source reading, and interviews if needed, then an outline you sign off on.

  3. Draft

    A complete, publishable draft, not a rough sketch that needs three more meetings.

  4. Revisions

    Revision rounds are agreed up front with the quote. Honest pushback where it helps; your call always wins.

  5. SEO pass

    Final on-page check: headings, meta title and description, internal links, image alt text.

  6. Upload-ready delivery

    Delivered in your format, or published directly in WordPress or Contentful.

FAQ

Fair questions, honest answers

Do you work with AI-generated drafts?

Yes. Plenty of clients bring me AI drafts, and I treat them as raw material: I fact-check every claim, restructure, cut the filler, and rewrite until the piece sounds like your brand instead of a language model. What I won't do is lightly polish an AI draft and call it done.

What are your turnaround times?

It depends on scope and how much research is involved. A single blog post usually takes days, not weeks; longer guides and interview-based profiles take more. We agree on a deadline before I start, and I keep it.

Do you write under my brand's byline?

Yes, ghostwriting is standard. Most of my client work is published under the client's byline, and I never claim public credit for it. The words are yours from the moment I deliver them.

How do you handle SEO?

Research first, readers first. I use Ahrefs, Surfer SEO, and Google Keyword Planner for keyword research and briefs, then write for the person searching, not the algorithm. On-page optimization is built into every draft, and I can deliver the finished piece upload-ready in WordPress or Contentful.

What niches do you cover?

Most of my work is in SaaS, e-commerce, health and wellness, hospitality and travel, workforce management, and Japan lifestyle content. I'm a fast study elsewhere; a translator's training makes unfamiliar subjects part of the job.

How do we start?

Email me through the contact page with your topic, audience, and rough scope. I'll reply within 1-2 business days with questions, a quote, and a timeline. No discovery-call gauntlet required.

Do you only work freelance?

I've worked independently since 2014, and most clients hire me per project or on a monthly retainer. For the right team and a genuinely good match, I'm open to a full-time role too. It never hurts to ask.

Not sure which service fits? Tell me the problem instead.

Describe what's not working: traffic, conversions, a backlog of half-finished drafts. I'll suggest the smallest engagement that fixes it.
