Richard S.
Professional, Experienced, and Skilled Writer
I write content that ranks well and actually gets read. Over 15 years of doing this full-time, and I still genuinely enjoy the work. My background: Computer science degree, SEO specialist, now a full-time writer and editor. My work appears on TechRadar, IT Pro, Expert Market, Tom’s Guide, and other major tech publications. I turn complex technical topics into clear, engaging copy. My CS background means I understand the tech; my SEO experience means I know how to make it findable; and 15+ years of writing means I can make it readable. I'm reliable. I hit deadlines. I communicate clearly. I don't disappear mid-project. After hundreds of completed jobs with a 100% success rate, the pattern is pretty consistent. I work well independently. Give me a brief, and I'll deliver. Give me a content calendar, and I'll execute. I don't need hand-holding, but I'm also not precious about feedback. What I write: Blog posts, white papers, case studies, landing pages, product descriptions, how-to guides, comparison articles, technical documentation, YouTube scripts. Long-form (3,000-7,000 words) or short. B2B or B2C. I've written about everything from cloud hosting to whisky to funeral homes to project management software. What clients say: "The best blog/SEO writer on UpWork. I have been online since 1990 and I have worked with dozens of writers over the years. Nobody beats Richard.
