Laurie Esposito Harley

Freelance writer/editor with 25+ yrs of experience
  • Girard, OH
  • November 13, 2024

I am a professional with experience in both administrative work and as a writer. I have worked as an administrative assistant and executive secretary in several positions, including Numismatic Consultants and Sun City Hilton Head. I worked as a receptionist and admin with Savannah Morning News in Effingham County. I have excellent organizational skills, can work with Microsoft and Google Office products, and am a quick learner.

I have worked as both a writer and editor for over twenty years, and my work has been approved by many major organizations, including IBM, CitiGroup, eBay, Indeed, and Monster. I write in a variety of online and print formats, including blogs, white papers, columns, press releases, feature articles, and website content. My marketing experience extends to introducing new services and companies and increasing the reach of established organizations. I also naturally have extensive experience in social media.

I am currently a freelance writer, writing content with Best R.O.I., Relevance, and Nomis Publications, distributor of the largest funeral home and cemetery newspaper in the U.S. I have worked as a remote editor with TextBroker, where I edited articles for eBay, Indeed, and other major organizations.

I was the Editor-in-Chief and Content Specialist with HR & Talent Management and was a staff reporter and writer prior to my promotion, penning over 150 articles. I was also a Community Manager of HRTM’s LinkedIn Group that contained almost 400,000 members. For HR Hard Talks, I was a Community Manager and was hired for the role based on my performance with HRTM. I created interesting and controversial topics and engaged the community members daily.

Prior to freelancing, I was the CEO and founder of Aardvark Writing, a writing and design service for small businesses. I edited six novels for publication; wrote human resource white papers for HCI which were approved by companies such as IBM, CitiGroup, and Monster.com; and managed a team of three writers and two designers.
