About AmÉlie
I love writing. A lot. Any topic, any medium and for any audience.
And somehow, I love editing other people’s writing just as much.
A little about me:
Although I was born in the States, I spent all of high school in Ukraine during the turn of the millennium and traveled the globe, staying in 11 countries. For university, I moved back to the United States to get my degree in both journalism and public relations. During that time, I gained experience as both a newspaper writer and editor (in chief!), as well as a media relations liaison.
Then, in an abrupt turn, I spent a decade working for Apple in a slew of new and ground-breaking roles as the company evolved it’s retail arm. When I finally decided to move on in 2018, it was because I knew in my heart I needed to go back to my roots as a writer and editor. I left my beloved home at Apple to pursue freelance writing and to travel with my entrepreneur husband and our two pups.
Why this matters:
I have a perspective and a dedication to my writing and editing that make my work human, inspiring, and readable for everyone. I never stop looking for ways to grow my insight into people of all backgrounds, genders, beliefs, and education levels. Understanding who each person in your audience is and what they need - that is the secret sauce behind making my words (or yours) reach more people and inspire them to action.
From graphic novels to technical textbooks, I have partnered with others to improve and publish their work. I’ve created focused, SEO-rich blogs and articles for a spectrum of clients with great and measured success.
Please reach out to me with your writing and editing needs so I can show you how my magic will work for you!
