Emily Montague

Experienced Writer & Managing Editor
  • Anywhere, Maryland
  • January 19, 2023

I am an experienced writer with a robust client roster and plenty of references. I have written blog posts, articles (including SEO optimized pieces), books (both under my own name and as a nonfiction ghostwriter), and so much more! I love writing for and about women, outdoor life, culture, the home, and history -- but I also have experience in technology (business), finance, startups, and many other "hard" categories relating to STEM and entrepreneurship.

I've spent a lot of time learning and gaining industry literacy on the fly, and my extremely diverse portfolio is a testament to that. I could niche down...but I simply enjoy writing about anything and everything! New topics are a fun challenge, while old topics are a way to deepen my knowledge. It's a win-win!

I am also the managing editor for a growing publication (The Fem Word), and have been a freelance editor for over 5 years. I have experience managing a team of writers, but I also enjoy working solo. I prefer to edit nonfiction pieces that don't involve too much technical jargon (think self-help and education, not industry guides).

I work quickly and am dedicated to the mission of creating strong final products that elevate a topic -- while still maintaining accessibility for the wider public. If it sounds like our values align, reach out! I'd love to hear from you.
