〰️
content writing
I have experience in writing short-form and long-form content: articles, technical reports, academic papers, blog posts, essays, social media posts, short stories, poems, and more. I love content creating, drafting, and planning and have experience doing that using various content management systems and digital platforms.
Opportunities to learn about different industries and interdisciplinary collaboration with people in diverse roles across a range of fields is one of my favorite parts of being a writer, so please don’t hesitate to reach out. In my writing, I have developed a strong understanding of audience, of what different audiences need. Between strategizing and writing coherent content and designing engaging, cohesive visuals, I am always looking for ways to improve reader experience.
MUSIC REVIEWS
As a music blogger, critic, and influencer with former experience at Independent Music Promotions, I have written music reviews to promote independent (local and international) artists and bands and increase press coverage for their new music.
“Painting a smoky, jazz noir scene, Lucinda Belle takes your mind to a piano bar in Paris in 1920s with the alluring, smooth lilt of her voice in her newest single ‘Baby Don’t Cry.’ Beginning with a haunting vocal melody over the harp and piano backdrop, she makes you feel like you’re floating along the Seine...”

PUBLICATIONS
I am a published poet and essayist. My works have been featured in the following publications: Analecta Literary & Arts Journal (Issues 42 & 43), Echo Literary Magazine (2016, 2017), Thought Catalog, Unvael (Issue VI), and P.S. I Love You on Medium.
I write confessional, free verse poetry with a style that has been described as fierce yet tender. My prose, whether I am writing a novel or an essay, is marked by narrative poeticism and purpose.
A storyteller at heart, I write across various media and strive to shape culture in some way, big or small.
