Hi, my name is Monica Mizzi and I am a freelance writer and digital marketer.
There is little more that makes me happy than sharing my words with the world.
I was the editor of FreelanceWriting.com, one of the largest writing resources on the web. In addition to editing content, I created copy for key pages of the website website.
I was also a freelance editor and writer for an American legal company.
In my spare time, I have been building up my personal freelance brand by contributing pieces to a number of different magazines, and creating website copy.
My true passion, however, lies in travel writing. I have a travel blog (typingtotaipei.com) and from that exposure have completed a variety of freelance writing assignments.
I am always open to new writing opportunities, and connecting with like-minded writers.
