Rachel Heston-Davis

Freelance Content Marketing Writer

I create marketing content that catches readers’ attention, draws them in, and familiarizes them with your brand or organization. I love storytelling above all else, which comes in handy when I need to tug on a reader’s heartstring or excite them into action.

I’ve been a professional wordsmith for over a decade as a freelance writer, journalist, fundraising writer, and college English professor (I was that prof who turned a potentially boring 101 class into actual fun).

I work with marketing firms, schools, businesses & organizations, and publications.

My writing specialties include higher education marketing, fundraising, and alumni relations; nonprofits; mental health; lifestyle/features and travel; and parenting as a feminist. I write case studies, blogs, articles, emails, one-sheets, newsletters, press releases, and more. I also handle blasting said content on your social channels. I’m friendly with WordPress. If you want an all-in-one writer who can create, publish, and spread the content, ask me about my service packages or a monthly retainer.
