Commercial Writing

I write practical guides and reviews that help people make high-stakes decisions, both with bylined work for consumer sites and ghostwritten work for agencies and platforms.

Agency and Platform Work

I work with agencies and technology companies to produce clear, reliable guides and explanations for users when products, tools, or systems don’t behave as expected.

Past work has included topics such as website performance, hosting behavior, online selling, email campaigns, and the everyday use of new technologies. In each case, I researched the subject from scratch, outline the article, sourced visuals, and wrote clear instructions that could be trusted by a broad audience.

Because this work was produced for agencies, it can’t be publicly attributed, but it reflects the same approach as my bylined work, emphasizing accuracy, plain language, and clear explanations.
