Back in the country, back in action…and seeking work!🚀
Plus: Some new photos I think you’ll dig!
Strawberries,
Hello! Thank you ALL the support and encouragement upon my return from Fringe. More cool updates (and show dates!) to share soon. Stay tuned…!
An update on “professional” me
In the meantime…here is something you may or may not know: When I’m not losing money writing poetry and making theater, I’m earning money as a freelance copywriter and editor (think website copy, newsletters, blog posts, video scripts, social media, etc.), with a focus on impact-driven work. (Check out my portfolio!)
Some of this year’s clients include IllumiNative, a leading org driving visibility for Native peoples; Basta, which supports first-gen college students in launching their career; and Mary’s Center (in collaboration with Captiva), which provides affordable healthcare to 65,000 community members in DC.
Two humble asks
Now that I’m back in the country and back in action, I’m wondering:
Do you know anyone seeking copy, content, or comms support this fall?
Would you consider forwarding my lil’ bio (included below) along to 1 person in your network?
Bonus points if they’re in the world of social change, voter reg/GOTV, arts & culture, or other impact-driven work. Thanks a million!
A little something for you
Oh! And so I’m GIVING and not just TAKING, I’ve also included some photos from my friend Zach and Jordan’s incredibly lovely and fun and magical wedding!
With love & thanks & tom & hanks,
Ben
