About me

Kevin

I’m Kevin. I’ve been writing tech content professionally for 15 years and somewhere north of 3,000 published articles.

Before writing was the plan, I was writing code. I taught myself to program while studying philosophy in college, then spent a few years building WordPress sites for clients. It was fun until it wasn’t. Somewhere in there I started writing about the tools I was using, and it turns out I was better at explaining tech than building it.

That was 2011. I haven’t stopped since.

These days I write for SaaS companies and hosting brands. Most of my work lives on the Salesmessage and SupportHost blogs, but over the years I’ve written for CNN Underscored, SitePoint, GoDaddy, HostGator, Hostinger, Flippa, Pagely, and a bunch of others.

The work is mostly software reviews, comparison posts, buyer guides, and long-form educational content. The kind of stuff that ranks in Google, keeps people reading, and gets them to click “buy” or “sign up” at the end. I also do sales-oriented blog posts and those massive ultimate guide pieces that take a week to write and end up being the best page on your site.

What I care about: I only take on clients where I can actually do good work. If I don’t understand your product or your audience, I’ll tell you. If I do, you’re getting someone who’s going to learn your business, match your voice, and send you drafts you barely have to touch.

I’m reliable. I hit deadlines. I’ve been writing weekly for multiple clients at the same time for years and nobody’s had to chase me for a draft. That might sound like a low bar, but if you’ve hired freelance writers before, you know it’s not.

Some things about me that aren’t about writing

I’m an indie poet. I grew a poetry Instagram account to 11k followers, which is either impressive or embarrassing depending on who you ask.

I’ve run this business from the jungles of Costa Rica, the mountains of Colorado, and more hipster coffee shops in Portland than I can count.

I spend a lot of time in the woods. Walking, running, picking up heavy things and putting them back down. The name “Wooden Writing” is a Kevin Wood joke, but honestly I just like being outside.

I’m a minimalist. I own more books than articles of clothing.

I have a Clif bar problem. Like, an entire box in one sitting kind of problem.

If you need tech content and want to work with someone who’s been doing this for a long time, I’d like to hear about your project.
