Blog Writing
Jen Anderson / DBA TextElevate
San Francisco–based freelance content creator, editor, and communications specialist exploring lifestyle, travel, design, architecture, and the urban experience.
United States
As proofreader of the Nob Hill Gazette, editor of several independent book projects, and creative copywriter at large, I attract work connected to the investigation of excellence, beauty, and meaning in the world around us. As a literary and cultural writer, I’ve won awards and honors for my storytelling, humor, and descriptive powers.
For my twice-monthly Substack newsletter, Catastrophic Annoyances, I crafted the tagline: Warm Takes on a Cold Society.
A 2024 technical writing certificate from Cal State University – Dominguez Hills complements my English degree and years as an in-house proofreader for Morrison & Foerster LLP, bolstering my facility with structured writing, visual communication, and collaborative work.
Recently I’ve expanded my communications expertise into marketing by accepting a volunteer role as co-chair of marketing for Editcetera, the Bay Area’s longest-standing editorial talent association. Having recently completed an online course in digital marketing, I now design and lead meetings, coin taglines and conceptualize campaigns in a team setting, and write progress reports for the organization’s internal newsletter.
Reach out to me for feature writing, beta reading, proofreading, copyediting, and rewriting projects. Lifestyle, travel, design, architecture, and related topics will be given priority. I look forward to hearing from you!
