Interests
When I’m not working on a story or a brief, I’m usually out in the woods with my dogs, Soup and Salad, or reading in the park. I’m also active in the Canadian literary community and I host, attend, and speak at local readings and events.

Get to know me better
I’m originally from Dallas, Texas, though I’ve lived all over the world: New Orleans, Colorado, Vancouver, Wales, Edinburgh, and Montreal. Yes, I speak French (but I don’t write it).
Growing up, I was your classic gifted kid. I was in chess club and math league. I read Romeo & Juliet in grade one. I was even in a program called TAG (Talented & Gifted) for most of elementary school. I’d love to say that determination carried through to high school, but it didn’t. In grade 12, I was awarded the esteemed honour of “most days skipped” in my school’s history.
Thankfully, I managed to pull it all together by the time I hit college/university. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing from The University of Wales with 1st class honours.
After university, I moved back to Canada to figure out how I was going to make a living with an arts degree. Har, har. I started working for a local literary magazine, took on various marketing assistant roles, then eventually found myself copywriting for a well-known advertising agency. While that role cut my teeth in the world of commercial marketing, I knew I wanted to go out on my own.
After a few years in the corporate world, I took the freelance plunge. To be honest, it went better than I expected. My first project was with Amazon. My second was with Lyft. I thought, wow, I can really do this. So, I kept going.
Today, my freelance career has given me the opportunity to write for a massive range of clients, and I’ve had my creative work published all over the world.
So, who’s the human behind the writing? On a personal level, I’m pretty laid back. I take my work seriously, but I also take my out-of-work time seriously. I love starting my day with a cappuccino and sitting in the sunshine as much as possible. I read a lot, write a lot, and absolutely adore exchanging philosophical ideas in dark bars, late into the night.
I’m always happy to meet new people, whether you’re an aspiring writer or a professional just looking for a new friend. If you read this and thought, I totally get you—I implore you to reach out via my contact form. I’m always chuffed to meet and work with likeminded folks.
If you’re a client and you’re reading this, thanks for making it this far. Fodder for our next meeting, maybe? See you soon.
Here’s what my clients have to say

Hannah is incredibly organized and always hits her deadlines. Our team of editors always enjoys working with her as her outputs make our internal processes easy. She is responsive to edits and always accepts feedback graciously and uses it in her future work. Her knowledge, punctuality, and commitment have been a great asset to our team and we look forward to continuing work with her.

Hannah is a powerhouse writer — she knows SEO, can absorb voice and tone, is an expert in all industries, and is timely and communicative on top of it all!

Kimberly Scopetta
Director of Content, NP Digital

Hannah is a very talented writer. She was able to work quickly and efficiently, and was adaptable in writing about any genre and/or industry. She is one of the most articulate people I’ve ever worked with and her knowledge and likeable personality won the hearts of not only our staff but also our clients.

Writing guidelines, developing character counts, and delivering edits isn’t everyone’s idea of fun, but with Hannah doing these things was a total joy. Whether you’re looking for a dynamite content developer or someone to help direct your team—I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough.

We use Hannah for our most complex and challenging accounts. After working in marketing for a decade, it’s been nearly impossible to find writers for our team that live up to my unrealistic expectations; Hannah exceeds them every time. My main goal as an agency owner is to make sure she’s happy and busy so we never lose her from our roster.

Casey Milone

Fantastic experience working with Hannah and her team. Clear expectations were set and a solid, workable plan was proposed right at the beginning. The website build was done on time and the results exceeded expectations. I will recommend Hannah to my friends and colleagues without hesitation. Great person who does great work!

Sean Cranbury

Hannah is incredibly intelligent, resourceful, diligent, and I aspire to be as organized as her one day. Hannah is a delight to work with, but more importantly, she has an incredibly high quality of output. She receives my highest recommendation — if you get the opportunity to work with her, take it.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Hannah on several blog content pieces and website copy. She is incredibly professional, a remarkably talented writer and someone we can trust to also work alongside our other vendors and partners. She works incredibly fast as well and always meets her deadlines. She is like an extension of our internal team and we could not be happier to work with her.

Hannah has time and time again saved my team with her copywriting skills and fast turnaround times. She’s the freelance player you want in your corner — she innovates, collaborates, and delivers incredible results. We can’t thank Hannah enough for the work she’s done with us.

Colleen Christison
Senior Copywriter, Major Tom

Hannah consistently delivers high-quality content that is informative, engaging, and clear, even for technically complex topics. Furthermore, she is one of the best writers I’ve ever worked with in regards to receiving editorial feedback. I never have to tell Hannah something more than once. She absorbs my suggestions and adapts her work to them instantly, even in ways I hadn’t necessarily thought of yet — an editor’s dream!
