Hi there!
My name is Kristen and I am a highly skilled freelance writer with over 14 years of professional writing experience. I have been published in many different industries, including history, HR/Career advice, parenthood, insurance, mental health, entertainment, news, health/wellness, product reviews, career advice, marketing and fiction. I have also written newsletters and email campaigns.
I’m a classic movie buff. If you ever watch an old movie with me, be prepared to learn something because I cannot keep the trivia to myself (much to my husband’s dismay- he’s heard much of it multiple times!).
Some of my published pieces are below. I can also provide clips for blog posts for clients in a variety of industries.
Let me know how I can help you with your company’s needs: knwiniarski21@gmail.com.
