Email Me: info@teresameek.com Teresa Meek Seattle freelance writer Call Me: 425.298.7164 Hello, and welcome to my website! Who I Am I’m Teresa Meek, a Seattle-area writer and editor. My background is in journalism, and now I do content marketing, ghostwriting, and editing. With over 15 years’ experience in communications, I’ve written hundreds of articles for high-circulation publications and businesses on almost every topic imaginable, some for B2B audiences and others for consumers. I also do white papers, marketing copywriting, and video scripts. I have a network of talented professionals–writers, editors, and graphic artists–and can quickly assemble a top-notch content marketing team to suit your company’s needs. I’m also the author of an Amazon ebook that sums up the lessons I’ve learned about how to write effective copy: Say It With Feeling! Business Writing in the Internet Age. I have author pages on Amazon and BookLikes.

My Background

I don’t know why–maybe it’s the Irish in me–but I’ve been in love with the written word since I was a kid stringing together the pages of my “books” with yarn. I cut my teeth in the writing business as a reporter for the Miami Herald, where I spent six years writing deadline stories about crime and crazy politics, the struggles of small businesses, the inner workings of tight-knit ethnic communities, and the sparkling jewel that is Everglades National Park. Sometimes I did investigative work that landed on the front page. Sometimes I wrote about people nobody ever heard of, people who chose to live miles from nowhere in an off-the-grid flood zone where they built their own boardwalk over the mud and thought the peace they gained was worth it. Content Marketing With content marketing, my goal is the same: to tell a good story, to find the key beneath the rock, the telling detail, the revealing quote, or the striking image that draws readers into a story and makes them keep reading. Check out my podcast interview on content marketing with Ed Marsh of Content Content to learn what I do and how I do it. Here are a few client comments:
