As a freelance editor and writer, my work is often without byline or credit. Here’s a sampling of the catches and content I’ve delivered to clients. You’ll also find some examples from my past life as a journalist.
Marketing & Website Content
A combo of proofing, editing and copywriting. Check out my edits in the notes so you can get a feel for my tone, catches and rewrites. For reviewing editing work, download and open the PDFs to get the optimal notes view.
Technical Writing & Editing
My work in software for CCI Europe (now STIBO DX) prepared me to translate technical functionality from developers to end-users, and workflow requirements from end-users to developers. I love bridging the divide at every level: documentation, project planning, professional services, FAQs, knowledge bases and remote or in-person training.

Instructional Design
These examples showcase writing and editing skills across materials, subjects and approaches. I have done ID editing and writing for secondary education across a wide range of topics: Networking, Project Management, Human Resources, Criminal Justice, Hospitality & Tourism and more.
Writing in the News
A smattering of columns and feature stories to give you a sense of my voice, though I’m comfortable and familiar with writing in a directed tone or brand voice. This work was done under my maiden name — and now you know what the “B” stands for in Danielle B. Hayden.

Writing headlines on deadlines is a great way to sharpen your wordplay and expand your vocabulary. Page design is just fun.
