Portfolio of Work
A curated selection from an eclectic career
Below are a few examples of the different kinds of copywriting I have done; I'm hoping to add more! So far, I have experience in website copy, e-books, sales copy, and advertorials, to name a few.

COVID-19 ebook
March 2020
In early March 2020, the ripples from COVID-19 in China were just beginning to turn into international waves. Back then, most people didn't have any context for how a thing that seemed so small could prompt a tsunami. I wrote this e-book at that time, based on research from the CDC, WHO, and reputable news sources. It is an interesting document from the time before COVID-19 permanently changed life as we knew it.

"What had once been dedicated to the soul was now dedicated to the sale"
Ignatius J. Reilly
"We have had the pleasure of working with Samantha for two projects now. We are blown away with the results so far and the professionalism that Samantha demonstrates! She is extremely easy to work with, asks all the right questions, and delivers quality results. It's difficult to find people that really get it, especially when it comes to copywriters, but Samantha is one of those. The first project we needed was copy for a landing page, which Samantha delivered incredibly quickly for us! Quality work at great value that wowed our client and did not take forever to turn around for us. We were so pleased with the results that we hired Samantha to write an email campaign sequence for us. Once again, Samantha delivered amazing work quickly that has been delivering great results for us!"
