Seattle Freelance Writer, Editor & Marketing Professional

Despite what others may tell you, it isn't as easy to write, edit or market yourself as you might think. It takes time, patience and a bit of skill to put just the right words down on paper (or the web). Let me take the effort out of writing, editing and marketing for you, so you can focus on those things you do best. I've helped dozens of clients like you including real estate agents, small business owners, nonprofits and more.

With more than 20 years of experience in writing, editing, and marketing for the financial services industry, I now offer my services to others as a freelance writer, editor and marketing professional. By doing it virtually, I write, edit and market for my clients using my my own resources from my home office. This allows me to work for multiple clients for clients across the country and around the world while saving you the expense of hiring a staff person.

With my education, talent and experience, I can make you look good whether you need a well written press release, an eye-catching brochure, compelling content for a Web site, or an advertorial article for trade journal.

In addition to my virtual work, I am also a freelance writer. My work has been featured in newspapers and magazines including Kent magazine, Renton magazine, South County Business Report, South Sound magazine, The Seattle Times, Seattle Metropolitan magazine, American Profile, GSN: Government Security News, HSToday, Computer Source, Money and More, Northwest Business Monthly, The Bellingham Herald, MacDonald Advertising Services' Inside Classified and Inside Recruitment and more. My bylines include Dana Blozis, Dana E. Blozis, Dana Neuts and Dana E. Neuts).

I was recently appointed to SPJ's national freelance committee, chaired by freelance journalist Amy Green. I join an elite group of talented journalists, and am proud to see how I can participate. In addition, I am the Regional Director serving SPJ's Region 10 which includes Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho and Montana.
