Here is a selection of my articles and essays, organized by topic.
I am a writer specialized in covering the arts, food, and lifestyle. I do editorial writing, I work with brands in content creation, I write educational study guides in literature and art. If you are interested in working together, just drop me a line using the contact form and I will get back to you promptly (as a freelancer, I get how important it is to communicate efficiently).
