Michael Rand
Experienced and Versatile Business Writer Brattleboro, United StatesAbout Me
I’ve spent my professional life honing my writing skills and successfully writing content for B2B and B2C businesses. My clients operate in various industries, including managed IT services, software-as-a-service, business conferences, consumer goods manufacturing, law, mortgage lending, personal finance, and marketing. My clients trust me to produce insightful, researched, and well-written content that resonates with their unique audiences.
I specialize in writing insightful research reports, whitepapers, and long-form articles. I also write blog posts, email newsletters, web copy, success studies, and social media content.
Should clients request it, I can use generative AI to generate content. I am fluent with tools like ChatGPT, Jasper, and Perplexity AI.
When not writing for clients, I enjoy creative writing. I've published short fiction, narrative non-fiction, and poetry in multiple literary magazines.
