John Shieldsmith

I'm a research-driven writer and storyteller with more than 10 years of experience. I specialize in helping brands reach their audience and tell their own story using ebooks, infographics, SEO pieces, nurture campaigns, and more.

When I'm not writing the content myself, I love helping other writers tell brand stories, through thoughtful editing of their work, SEO suggestions, outline tips, and the occasional witty comment.

I'm a big fan of research and learning. (Childhood me would think I'm crazy, I never tire of learning new things as an adult.) If I don't know the answer to something, I find someone who does. If that doesn't work, I love diving headfirst into Google and forums, not coming up for air until I'm well-versed on the topic.

I welcome the challenge of working with a wide variety of industries — from healthtech to fintech to lifestyle brands and beyond. (I've even helped a shamanistic healing center in the Caribbean.)

When I'm not writing, I'm doing my best to keep up with my son. Or drinking coffee. They go hand in hand.
