This may shock you, but … I didn’t dream of being a freelance writer growing up. I did want to be a writer, though.
I had a gift for putting thoughts together—for the stories I’d write with my friends, or the sports articles I’d pen for the local paper. And I was adept at improving other people’s writing—for the friends whose college essays I’d help edit, or for my father and his well-intentioned but rambling Christmas letter.
I’ve still got a gift for putting thoughts together, but now I do it through ghostwriting, thought leadership, and proposal writing. And I’m still adept at improving the work of others, but on the front end, through stakeholder research and content strategy development.
Whether it’s as a freelance B2B writer for health care or tech companies, or as an in-house strategist and communications leader for a top-10 global university, I’ve gained the experience and expertise I need to find your story and make it sing.

Hi Kristin! Great to follow your career moves. Quick question: We’re studying freelancing this week in my Elon reporting course. Would you be interested in a 30-minutes-or-so Zoom chat with my 16 students this coming Wednesday, April 20? (If you can’t, no worries.)
I already have them reading your article on ‘Six Things I Learned . . . ” It’s good. I’m sure students would be eager to meet you (remotely). Class meets from 12:30 to 1:40 p.m., so any chunk of that time would be great. We’re going to be on Zoom because about three of the students are out in some form of quarantine (one is for flu). We’re off today for day-after-Easter commuting. (I’m actually in Bethesda right now visiting son, who was just a small guy when you were at Elon. Now at NIH.)
If you can join us, I’ll send you a Zoom link, and we can nail down time. As for Elon, generally the same but larger, more brick buildings, Connie Book is president and Janna has shrewdly disappeared to Southern California, though she still does some of her Imagining the Internet activities.
If you want to talk, my mobile is (336) 269-8920.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi Glenn, I’m so sorry I missed this! For some reason, I didn’t get an alert on it. I would love an opportunity to speak to your students in the future (although I’m sure it’s too late for this semester, my apologies) — send me a note at kristinhansonwrites@gmail.com. I hope you’re well!
