Bridget Ryder
Freelance Writer and Editor
Verified
Vreative writer with over ten years of experience. I started out as a freelance writer, picking up odd writing jobs to build my skills and portfolio. Soon I had landed a fulltime multimedia reporter position at a weekly newspaper. I left my mark on the publication through my initiative, depth, and breadth of reporting, including an enterprise reporting trip to Mexico funded by a grant I won. After that, I pursued a specialised humanities degree and then combined writing with a fulltime position as a program manager at a new community health clinic. Since then, I have expanded my writing into academic editing, international politics, diverse technical topics, ghost writing, content writing, script writing, and beyond. I have written about everything from history and culture to economics, law, health, medicine, pharmaceuticals, science, agriculture, politics and the European Union in long and short forms, for print and digital formats, and for television, social media, and corporate enterprises. I have also created original curriculum content for online language learning and published newsletters for fundraising. Engaging storytelling, depth of research and context, and persuasive analysis characterize my writing. I have a knack for giving stories energy and pulling out the drama to grab the reader’s attention. My goal is to continue to find new stories, clients, platforms, and genres to write in.More...
