Austin H.
Freelance Writer & Editor with Diverse Background
I am a Pittsburgh-based writer, editor, and multi-media producer specializing in high-impact non-fiction and narrative storytelling. With years of experience navigating the fast-paced world of digital journalism, I provide a versatile skill set that spans across several mediums: Editorial Excellence: A proven track record of producing deeply researched, SEO-optimized features for national publications including All That’s Interesting, Discover Magazine, and Better Humans. Audio Production: Comprehensive experience in podcasting, covering everything from script development and guest management to professional audio editing and distribution. Narrative Strategy: A unique ability to blend technical research with a compelling "voice," making me a go-to collaborator for personal essays and brand storytelling. Screenwriting: A film degree and several award-winning short films. I can help polish your script, give it the punch-up it needs, or turn your ideas into a well-crafted story. I am a firm believer in the power of a well-told story to change a perspective. Whether it's a 3,000-word historical deep-dive or a 30-minute podcast episode, I bring a sharp eye for detail and a commitment to editorial integrity to every project.
