ABOUT ME

Hey there, I’m Tess — a writer in Los Angeles.

Don’t let the em dashes fool you — I’m just a good old fashioned copywriter who’s been smitten with the melodrama of lesser-known punctuation since long before ChatGPT.

I’m currently open to full-time, part-time, and freelance copywriting jobs.

I’ve also dabbled in the true crime podcast sphere, penned articles for Harper’s Bazaar, Los Angeles magazine, and Milk Studios, and wrote a personal essay about my family’s twisted stalker situation for Buzzfeed News, which hit #1 on Apple News.

When I don’t have a word doc open, I’m either:

• Studying the menus of new restaurants (my scripture, if you will)

• Searching the depths of the flea market for a niche clothing item that my mom won’t understand

• Torturing myself by way of the cruel and unusual Bulgarian split squat

• Walking on my hands (my only party trick)

• Dreaming up new ice cream flavors (heavy on the chunks)

Nowadays, I’m simply itching for new projects. Feel free to send me an email—I’ll be here ✧
