Jillian McCoy
I'm a freelance writer and college student based in Philadelphia. Though I'll write just about anything as a "pen for hire," I specialize in short-form content written for the web. Some of my favorite subjects to write about include technology, entertainment, fashion and beauty.
Though I've always loved to write, it took me until 2010 to try doing it for a living. Since starting my career as a freelance writer, I've won several contests and other accolades for my work. Of these, I'm most proud of being a recipient of Associated Content's Rising Star Award.
When I'm not writing, my main hobbies involve learning new things or being entertained. I'm an avid gamer, music lover and compulsive reader. Among the various and sundry things I've learned to do, I can build computers, make my own perfume and cook a pretty mean stuffed mushroom.
I'm always interested in new opportunities, so please contact me with proposals or to hire my services.
