I'm a freelance writer based in Denver, CO. I always dreamt of getting paid to be a full-time student, and being a freelance writer is the closest I've come to achieving that dream.

Before becoming a freelance writer, I was a Senior Communications Manager, supporting internal communications and change management initiatives. These specialties are at the forefront of helping knowledge workers do their best work. I devoured time management, productivity, communications, career development, and leadership content to help me succeed. Now, I share my experience and knowledge through writing.

You can meet me at the intersection of communications, change, corporate culture, and content. I love writing (and talking about) time management, internal communications, employee engagement, the future of work, and making work more efficient (and fun!). 

I've partnered with Clockwise, G2, Marlee, Workshop, Apogy, The Everygirl, Passion Planner, and Business Insider, to name a few.

What do the three screenshots from current and former clients above have in common? They described my work as excellent. I always strive to provide excellent work for my clients.

I write compelling, high-quality, long-form content (blog posts, guides, ebooks) to help you achieve your goals.

I deliver content that resonates with your audience because I write about topics I have experience with and know a lot about, including:

• Time management
• Productivity
• Life at work / the future of work
• Internal communications
• Employee engagement
• Company cultures
• Career development
• Project management
• Change management
• Leadership

I also provide communications and content support on a limited basis, which could include: 

• Ghostwriting LinkedIn content for you or your business
• Drafting newsletter blurbs and content and assisting with newsletter production
• Creating graphics in Canva for your communications
• Editing and designing downloadable PDF resources and guidebooks

With a background in internal communications and training in change management—writing about work and how to improve it is my sweet spot.

Are we a match?

We could be a good match if:

• You will usually provide the topics to write about (but I'm always happy to brainstorm together or discuss pitches as needed)
• You're looking for a long-term partner to support your content development needs
• You have content briefs to provide
• You're looking for a writer who can take a loose outline and keywords and craft a draft
• You're ready to hand over your writing needs to a highly motivated and independent writer to free your mind from worries

"As a writer myself, I have high expectations of the other writers I collaborate with. Alyssa not only meets those expectations—she exceeds them. She's an incredibly thoughtful writer who invests the time and energy to find simple and engaging ways to explain even the most complex or seemingly mundane topics. In addition to her top-notch writing skills, she's communicative, diligent, and deadline-oriented. When I assign a piece to Alyssa, I know that I don't need to worry about the result. It's always solid."

Kat Boogaard, Owner of Kat Boogaard & Company LLC

"I’ve worked with many writers over the past ten years, and Alyssa is hands-down one of the best. It’s very difficult to find talented, reliable, and affordable writers. But Alyssa is all three. Her prose is excellent. Whatever style you need, she can write it. Her writing is readable, enjoyable, concise, and educational. Her research is top-notch. She reads thoroughly on the subject, finds the best sources, and cites them throughout. She’s also fast and extremely dependable. She never once missed a deadline. She communicates thoroughly and proactively throughout the process, so there’s no confusion and no surprises. There’s no quality you’d want in a writer that she doesn’t possess in spades. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to anyone seeking a writer."

Cathy Reisenwitz, Former Head of Content at Clockwise

"As soon as I started managing the freelancer program at G2, I knew I wanted Alyssa to be a part of it. Since January 2022, Alyssa has been an exceptional addition to our freelance team and has never missed a deadline. I know I can give her a range of topics, from sales to marketing to artificial intelligence, and the content will be well-researched and thorough. We at G2 are incredibly lucky to have Alyssa writing for our website!"

Mara Calvello, Content Marketing Manager at G2

"Alyssa Towns is one of the best writers I've worked with in my professional career. She is a true expert in her craft, is proactive, and organized. Alyssa is a valued partner, helping create content that is interesting to read and sets my organization apart in a crowded market. On top of this, she's an incredible human! She is kind, thoughtful, and highly collaborative. It has been a joy getting to know her! I recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for communications / writing support. She's the best!"
