About
I’m Katie, a Nashville-based freelance content writer/marketer, creative writer, and editor.
I write thoughtful, researched marketing pieces like blog posts, ebooks, and case studies for B2B, SaaS, and e-commerce companies.
A brief history:
After studying English and creative writing at Saint Louis University, I covered police chases, protests, elections, and the city’s 1,000-year flood for Nashville’s NBC affiliate. As a journalist, a zest for lifelong learning is a must (some call it nosiness, I say it’s curiosity). My news career expanded into marketing and has since been spent conducting interviews to learn more about a subject and distilling that research into engaging, customer-first copy in a brand’s unique voice.
My content writing has been published by Headspace, Close, Emma, Deck Commerce, enVista, Groups360, and more.
My journalism work is found at Axios, The Tennessean, BookPage, Tennessee Register, Nashville Scene, and Advertising Week, among others.
My creative writing has appeared in Kiln, Regime Magazine, Tethered by Letters, and on the side of a Nashville transit bus. My first book, a short story collection called Cheers, Somebody, was published in 2017 by Vine Leaves Press.
