Julia Haydon

Writing, Editing, and Communications

Washington, DC

Hi! I created this site to showcase my professional skills and experience.

I have 12+ years of experience providing writing, editing, and communications support to government, nonprofit, and private organizations. My experience includes developing, reviewing, and managing digital content and communications for diverse audiences, as well as providing marketing, design, and branding support.

A little bit more about me... I'm passionate about grammar, well crafted sentences, and the Oxford comma. When I'm not working, I'm also passionate about music, biking, and well crafted ice cream sandwiches.
