Janine Stankus: Freelance Writer and Editor specializing in copywriting, editorial, and content strategy. Behind-the-screen skills include SEO, HTML, CMS, design, and analytics.
Storytelling is my strength. From capturing creative visions to helping brands communicate their core values—I derive great joy from finding and pulling through the compelling thread.
I worked with companies across industries to develop clear, strong messaging that resonates with the actual people they want to reach. From UX-focused copy bites to well-researched whitepapers to thought-provoking articles, I approach each project with creativity and an editorial eye.
My background is multifaceted: I hold an M.A. in English from NYU and have enjoyed stints as a journalist, freelance writer, copywriter, content manager, and editor. From the time I launched my career in the startup world, to now, working for global consultancies, I’ve always surrounded myself with brilliant, inspiring people who have taught me a ton about so many different world—from fashion to design to ever-evolving enterprise technology.
When I’m not wordsmithing, I spend my time biking/hiking/pilate-ing, dabbling in dubious poetry, and getting involved in various grassroots projects. I also do a mean (read: average) Stevie Nicks karaoke when cajoled. NYC—>AUS and fully lavishing that taco life!
