Hi, I’m Amanda
I help clients realize their marketing and publication goals through expert copy editing and copywriting. Also an AP Style guru and memoir author.
What clients and colleagues are saying:
"What makes Amanda special isn't just her writing skills, but how she thinks about every word she puts on paper. She often suggests small changes that make a big difference to the message we want to convey. Trusting someone with writing is a big deal, and our whole team trusts Amanda.”
Holly Reardon, Hapacity Marketing
"Working with other freelance copywriters, I've had mixed results. You have limited time to educate a freelance copywriter about a client's brand and company goals, so it can be difficult to convey exactly what is needed for each project. That was never an issue when I worked with Amanda. She made things incredibly easy for me and Timmermann Group by being highly communicative and demonstrating an
attention to detail.”
Shawn Baldwin, Timmermann Group
"[It’s been] such a refreshing change of pace to have such a strong editor and writer send me copy. Amanda does her homework on a project to ensure it’s done right, whether it’s verifying that the content is accurate, rewriting to make it better or adjusting language for better flow/fit. She adapts and adjusts when the scope of work changes, and she’s a pleasure to have on the team.”
Tracy Maple, Hyatt Hotels Corporation
"Amanda is the coworker you hope to get on your team. She combines a keen editorial eye, a deep understanding of brand voice, and that ever-useful knack for finding just the right word and transforms it into copy that sings.
Laura White, Colibri Group

About me
A recovering journalist keeping good copy alive
With 14 years of experience, I’m an established copy editor and copywriter with the heart and tenacity of a journalist — perhaps because that’s where my roots lie.
I earned my journalism degree in St. Louis during the transition from paper to web, when the old-school journos were wary of the future and us newbies were excited for what lay ahead.
For me, it was important to know both sides intimately. For the first few years of my career, I took what I learned from the smoky old journos and my digital pioneer peers and applied it as a reporter at a small paper two hours outside St. Louis. After, I was a stringer for several St. Louis-area publications.
In the mid-2010s, I transitioned to the “dark side”: marketing, of course 💁🏻♀️
From editing thought leadership pieces at a content marketing agency — and landing several clients in pubs like Fast Company, Inc. and Forbes — to serving as lead copywriter and editor at a corporate education company, I’ve dabbled in it all. And typically, I like to work a freelance gig or two on the side, whether it’s writing SEO-optimized blogs for small businesses, copy editing for boutique marketing agencies or ghostwriting for clients across myriad industries.
Currently, I’m a contract copy editor/writer for Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Centric Consulting, an international firm. Still, I’m always open to whatever opportunity knocks next.
