Hi, I’m Sydney!
I’m a published author, editor, and marketer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Along with my fiction and poetry, I have made a career of writing for companies and brands.
With proven skills in editorial and marketing content, I’ve learned to adapt my writing to fit the voices of different industries, appealing to a variety of audiences.
Outside of my professional writing, I am an avid reader with a goal to read more than 100 books in 2026. You can also follow my reading journey on Instagram.
I also send a weekly newsletter that focuses on creative essays, my works-in-progress, and book reviews.

Business Writing
In my roles, I have spent time writing for the travel, technology, education, and healthcare industries. These spaces have taught me about humanity and how we interact with our world. With each chapter of my career, I have found ways to tell the stories of these brands and capture the attention.
My work is always about the story, whether I’m writing a blog post about seeing an iguana at the port of a Caribbean cruise or breaking down the details of a pharmaceutical approval from the FDA. My years in both editorial and marketing roles have taught me how to communicate effectively with a variety of audiences, adapting language and tone to build connections.
Editorial
With a focus on clarity and factual writing, my editorial work delivers unbiased reporting and distills complex content into straightforward language.
Marketing
With a mission to build connection and appeal to emotions, my marketing skills go beyond copywriting. I have experience in SEO, social media content, content calendars, and more.
Fiction and Poetry
Fiction
Want a story told from the perspective of a painting? A chance encounter of old lovers in an Uber? A story about a billboard that you find annoying? My work is a blend of everyday life and the strange.
Poetry
I believe poetry is one of the best ways to convey emotion through writing, allowing us to distill feelings and capture moments that might otherwise elude us.
My fiction writing is often inspired by art, mythology, and fairy tales. I believe in the power of words to engage and transport readers. Through my short stories, poems, and creative non-fiction, I strive to shine a light on characters and emotions that are misunderstood or overlooked.
My first published collection, Musings: Poems and Tiny Tales, follows these themes. It is available for purchase online from various retailers including Amazon, Target, and Books-A-Million.
