Copy. Content. Communications.

I help companies, entrepreneurs, and NGOs create authentic content that resonates with their audiences.

My approach

Authentic

Authenticity matters. It should be the foundation of all your communication. Insincerity drives away audiences faster than a public transport passenger who doesn’t use headphones. Whether you need snappy commentary, technical blogs posts, or well-researched white papers, I’ll help you communicate authentically, connect with your audiences, and stay on their minds long after they’ve finished reading.

Technical yet accessible

Life is complicated. Nuance exists. Substance counts. Not every idea can be reduced to a TikTok, but every one can be made more accessible through storytelling, analogies, anecdotes and clear language. I transform complicated and technical information into compelling narratives and engaging content—without diluting the substance.

High-quality writing

Understanding the fundamentals of writing leads to clear communication. Clever storytelling, distinctive style, and a unique tone of voice build upon the foundations of mechanics and syntax.

Should I use parentheses or a dash? Well, that depends: Do you want your reader to pay attention to or ignore that additional information? Should I use a comma here? Well, are those words integral to the meaning of the sentence or are they just nice-to-have details?

I edit meticulously, keeping an eye out for the small things, so you don’t have to worry about knowing all the rules.

Thought partner

I used to say that I worked in thought leadership. Then, content houses everywhere began to claim that they could “develop impactful thought leadership to make you stand out in a crowded market.” They churned out run-of-the-mill articles, and before long, all that “thought leadership” began to look a lot like thought followership.

The truth is that all thought leaders are subject-matter experts, but not all subject-matter experts are thought leaders. Let’s find out where you fall on the spectrum.

I’ll be your thought partner. I’ll work with you to tease out your unique opinions and ideas, and if it’s not thought leadership material, I’ll be honest and tell you. If it is, I’ll take those ideas, find the human angle, and draft concise, persuasive research-backed content.

What others are saying

  • Emily has a knack for writing on complex topics. I had the pleasure of collaborating with her on some highly technical articles, and she did outstanding work. To make the copy more catchy, she incorporated interesting historical facts, delivering content that exceeded expectations.

    Yanina Blaclard, Director of Marketing and Communications, Horizon Quantum Computing

  • Emily supported us in writing compelling op-eds and educational blog posts. She’s at ease collaborating with technical experts and makes complex information accessible to broad audiences.

    Ulrik Stig Hansen, President & Co-founder, Encord

  • If you ever get the chance to hire Emily, do it. She is strategic and thoughtful, a brilliant writer, and a natural leader. She shaped and executed a successful communications strategy, built strong client relationships, and mentored others across our team. She also wrote and edited a bewildering number of smart blogs and op-eds. She is creative, flexible, and charismatic, and I think she could figure out how to do nearly anything.

    Kristin Kelly Jangraw, Communications Director, USAID INVEST

  • I am absolutely blown away by the quality of landing page copy. It’s a complete step change from what we had. The narrative is complete, impactful and no-nonsense. I genuinely do not know how Emily did it based off our 55 minute call.

  • … a self-starter, extremely energetic, enthusiastic about the work, and 100% committed.

    David Osborne, Director Emeritus of Reinventing America’s Schools, Progressive Policy Institute

  • ...as Langhorne explains, Barb Johnson considers not just themes of conventional living versus the cult of American individuality but race, class, and gender, as well. Langhorne is at her best in connecting these issues to masculinity, as evidenced in the characters of Dooley and Pudge from Johnson’s More of this World or Maybe Another.
