Content Marketing Articles
My ability to research any topic and turn technical and statistical information into engaging and informative content is the reason I am often hired to develop content marketing articles.
​
Several of my recent articles focus on project management and software development topics and include interviews with industry professionals.

(Note: In the example provided, I disabled the links that appear in the original article to avoid skewing the associated analytics results.)
My favorite part about writing in-depth feature stories is discovering something surprising that I know readers will appreciate adding to their own knowledge base.
​
The biggest surprise I uncovered while writing "The Sunshine Vitamin’s Healing Effects," the feature story example provided, is how much research there is to support the need for significant changes to the FDA's guidelines regarding Vitamin D.
As an experienced technical editor and writer, I'm able to research topics and quickly focus on the key points required for step-by-step instructions, tutorials, and training materials.
​
The training presentation shown here
is the most recent example of my work.
I formatted it as a presentation to make it easily accessible by remote personnel.
As a Technical Content Editor for a group of consumer electronics magazines, I edited and managed the content of 60-70 magazine pages per month, along with a portion of the website content.
I worked as the senior Technical Content Editor for Smart Computing magazine and participated in the editing workload for our team's other magazines, including CPU (Computer Power User), PC Today (renamed as CyberTrend), CE Lifestyles (renamed as First Glimpse), and Reference Series (quarterly newsstand-only publication).
While working as a regular contributor for The New York Times Company’s About.com collection of websites, I was hired to build
an Office & Productivity Software website
as part of the About.com Technology section.
As an About.com website administrator,
I wrote dozens of consumer news articles,
product reviews, blog entries and social media posts about various office suite applications, including this article about
the history of Microsoft Office.
Of all the product marketing materials
I have developed, creating content for Wildtree has been the most rewarding because its products benefit everyone.
​
With Wildtree, you can cook quick, nutritious and delicious meals that are certified organic, low in sodium and free of dyes, preservatives and MSG. Wildtree also has peanut-free, gluten-free and sugar-free products. Who in marketing doesn't enjoy promoting products that practically sell themselves?
Many of the user guides I write
are designed to help consumers learn
more about services, online content,
and software features.
​
The iExplore Site Guide is an example
of a condensed user guide article I wrote about a website's features and services.
