I've been writing full-time for 15+ years and I've completed over $300,000 worth of projects on Upwork, so you know you're in safe hands when you work with me. I develop long-term partnerships with my clients over many months and years. Here's what the CEO of a marketing agency had to say about me: "He's one of the greatest copywriters I've ever worked with. We've had a project going on for 6 years now which is crazy to think about!!!" If you need help with any aspect of copywriting – from newsletters to web copy to landing pages – I'd love to hear from you. What about AI? I've been writing since long before AI showed up, so I'm always happy to write 100% human-only content. However, many clients now ask me to use AI to speed up the content creation process, and I use it as and when needed – I have a pro subscription to Claude for this purpose. Tasks could include: - Writing and editing AI-assisted content - Reshaping and improving AI drafts for clarity, structure and flow - Fact-checking and tone refinement - SEO support (keywords, internal linking, meta descriptions) Whatever you need, if you want to work with a professional who takes his work and reputation seriously, let's talk.

Hire me for all your BeeHiiv needs! I currently manage an Amazon-based newsletter, sending 5x a week. I was able to grow it from having 0 subscribers to currently 45.5k today, with 50% open rate and 2% click through rate. I am an SEO content and press release writer with experience in off-page SEO and content management. I have been a freelance writer for 5 years, and a content manager in those 2 years. Most of my work is related to e-commerce, particularly Amazon, but I have also extensive experience in writing for other industries such as tech, health and wellness, real estate, beauty and cosmetics, finance, and marketing. Aside from being a content writer, I've also worked with a team of writers to edit their content and provide feedback to their outputs. I'm also well-versed in content management systems such as Wordpress, Quantum Newswire (for PR), ActiveCampaign, and Beehiiv (for email marketing).

If you are reading this, it tells me you want to have profitable newsletters, sales letters, or emails in your business, like this enterprise-level client here: "When sourcing a brand storyteller, I read through the majority of Wade’s portfolio before realizing the real reason I had made it that far—everything he wrote was so funny and interesting! His ability to use infotainment in his brand storytelling was so clever and unique that I just had to hire him for an upcoming creative campaign. In our first email campaign, our average open rate was well above the industry average. It also led to an interesting exchange with several Content Managers, VPs of Marketing, and Product Marketing Managers who reached out to us personally to applaud the nature and approach of our email content. . .It just goes to show the difference a creative storyteller can make in your marketing. On top of that, Wade is a pleasure to work with and lets you be a part of the creative process—win, win!" --- Kristi Gamboni - Sr. Integrated Marketing Manager @ TrustRadius You should know that one of the keys to world-class writing is the ability to produce the content consistently at a high level, issue after issue. A proven framework is a requirement to be able to do this. Not only do I have a market-tested framework that I have honed across different verticals, but I also teach it to copywriters (along with published writer James Shrimpton). One of my students recently said: "I can't say enough about working with Wade and James in the Ghostletter Seminars. Their complementary skills and styles were engaging and incredibly enjoyable. Wade's content framework alone was worth the price of admission . . . " --- Jacob Treloar If you want entertaining content that captures attention while delivering your message, I can help. In fact, if you're looking for newsletter ghostwriting, email campaigns, or even some kind of shenanigans I’ve never seen before (What? I thought we were in the trust tree), I am pretty much your only option. Bottle up that scoffing sound and hear me out. My name is Wade Skalsky and I specialize in delivering content that keeps people’s attention by entertaining them first and delivering the brand messaging second. Plenty of writers say they are good at ‘infotainment' but they usually only have one side of the coin. In other words, they are funny but lack the ability to match the 'voice' of their client, or vice versa. “But Wade, you haven’t told me any jokes yet. I came for the clown show.” No, you didn’t. You came for help with delivering your message. Unlike other writers, I am the best at infotainment because I understand tone, context, and proper framing. I have mastered being interesting and informative at the same time. “I have a very particular set of skills.” <-------In my best gravelly Liam Neeson voice. Here’s the proof. I won a coveted producer award for my one-man show, Fish out Of Whiskey, at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Lots of people are talented creative writers, I just happen to also be a veteran 20-year Los Angeles trial attorney. I know how to professionally persuade and entertain total strangers all day, every day. (The whole lawyer thing also means I know all about compliance issues in your industry.) So far, I’m the only writer I have ever seen who uses elite-level persuasion, honed over decades of trial work, coupled with an outrageous live theatre game earned on the Los Angeles theatre row. When you work with me, first we’ll get on a deep dive call where I will ask about your business, your customers, and figure out how entertaining your brand is. Why the last one? I strive to be one or two degrees more entertaining than my client’s brand. There is that dang context issue again. Content and brand mismatch is an absolute killer mistake. I will not work with people who are unwilling to figure out how they want to frame their brand using infotainment. We will collaborate on this issue together. It takes two to polka. If you want to dance, contact me to see if it’s a good fit. I’m busy building my own platform off Upwork so don’t get ants in your pants if it takes me a bit to get back to you.

ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴜʙꜱᴛᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ, ɴᴏᴛ ᴛᴏ ꜱᴘᴇɴᴅ ᴡᴇᴇᴋꜱ ꜰɪɢᴜʀɪɴɢ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇꜱ, ᴄᴜꜱᴛᴏᴍ ᴅᴏᴍᴀɪɴꜱ, ᴘᴀɪᴅ ꜱᴜʙꜱᴄʀɪᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ꜱᴇᴛᴛɪɴɢꜱ, ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴇᴍᴀɪʟ ᴀᴜᴛᴏᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴛᴜᴘ. That's where I come in. I help newsletter creators, coaches, and small businesses turn their Substack into a publication that looks professional, attracts subscribers, and earns money, without the technical headache. Whether you're starting from zero or you already have a Substack that needs proper design, monetization, or ongoing management, this is what I do every day. 𝐓𝐨𝐩-𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟏𝟎𝟎+ 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟓-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬. What I handle end-to-end: 🚀 Setup & Launch ☑️Substack account creation and publication setup ☑️Theme customization, logo and wordmark design ☑️Newsletter design with custom header and footer ☑️Homepage, About page, and sign-up page customization ☑️Section, navigation, and tag setup ☑️Custom domain configuration ☑️Automated welcome email ☑️Privacy and policy pages ☑️List import and migration from other platforms 🎙️ Podcast & Audio ☑️Substack Podcast setup ☑️Audio note configuration ☑️Episode publishing workflow 💰 Monetization & Growth ☑️Paid subscription setup ☑️Referral program activation ☑️Substack Chat setup ☑️Audience engagement features ☑️Website integration 📈 Ongoing Management ☑️Post scheduling and publishing ☑️Subscriber engagement and list management ☑️Monthly retainers for creators who'd rather focus on writing while I run the publication Here's what I solve for clients: ☑️I want to launch but I don't know where to start. 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚, 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝. 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝, 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐨, 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥, 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧-𝐮𝐩 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. ☑️I have subscribers but I'm not making money from them. Substack's monetization tools are powerful but easy to set up wrong. I configure paid subscriptions, founding member tiers, referral programs, and Substack Chat properly, so your existing audience actually starts paying you. ☑️My Substack looks like everyone else's. Default themes scream amateur. I customize your publication's design, homepage, headers, footers, and About page so it looks like a real publication, not a template, and matches your brand. ☑️I need to migrate without losing my subscribers. Coming from Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or Beehiiv? I handle the full migration, list import, settings transfer, welcome email continuity, and publication setup, so you switch over without losing a single subscriber. ☑️I want to add a podcast but Substack confuses me. I set up your Substack Podcast, configure audio notes, and walk you through the episode publishing workflow so you can record from day one. ☑️I'm too busy writing to manage all of this. For long-term clients, I run your publication for you, scheduling posts, managing subscribers, handling engagement, and keeping everything technical out of your way, so you only focus on writing. Why clients pick me: ☑️100+ successful Substack projects with consistent 5-star feedback across platforms ☑️I work exclusively on Substack, I know every feature, setting, and workaround ☑️Most setups delivered in 5–7 days ☑️Clear daily updates so you're never in the dark ☑️I treat your publication like my own, every detail matters 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩, 𝐚 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧.

How to Hire Top Newsletter Writers

How to hire newsletter writers

Looking to maintain a newsletter to keep your employees, customers, stakeholders, or donors informed? A newsletter writer can help you communicate with your growing community. 

So how do you hire newsletter writers? What follows are some tips for finding top newsletter writers on Upwork.

How to shortlist newsletter writing professionals

As you’re browsing available newsletter writing consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a newsletter writer who understands your industry so they can use language that will resonate with your target audience. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., tracking the performance of a newsletter with Google Analytics).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular newsletter writer.

How to write an effective newsletter writing job post

With a clear picture of your ideal newsletter writer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective newsletter writing job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From copywriting to newsletter layout, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or marketing tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

NEWSLETTER WRITERS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a newsletter? 

A newsletter is a type of digital or print content that is distributed to a list of subscribers. It will typically contain a series of story snippets, company news, and advice laid out similarly to a magazine or newspaper.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in newsletter writing professionals:

  • Newsletter writing
  • Copywriting
  • Editing and proofreading
  • Graphic design 

Why do you want to hire newsletter writers?

The trick to finding top newsletter writers is to identify your needs. Is your goal to keep your employees and shareholders informed of private news and events with an internal newsletter? Or is your plan to run a newsletter marketing campaign, driving traffic to your digital assets from a list of email subscribers? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a newsletter writer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced newsletter writer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their newsletter writing more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
