holly richmond

I live in Portland, where I write for a living and quote '90s movies for free.
Scientists have determined I am two parts librarian
and one part rockstar.

I used to manage blogs for Microsoft
(one about mobile marketing, one on reducing your home energy use).

I also wrote for Grist for several years, including
its hilarious and entertaining green dating column.

I don't want to tell you what to do, but you should probably read it.

  Summary
  
  Like Sasquatch hunters, I believe in an elusive, gentle beast few experience: concise, compelling, and funny writing. I've spent six years tracking such a beast, which translates to writing and editing a smorgasbord of marketing and editorial copy.
  
  I'm a nimble, witty writer who effortlessly backflips from press releases to blog posts to how-to articles. And I'd love to do some backflips for you. With my words.
  
  Specialties: Copyediting, environmental writing, writing for web, social media, SEO
