About

For starters, I am *not* Dean Koontz. Yes, my name looks like a Grammarly suggestion when you type in his name. And as author of the domestic thriller THE PERFECT HOME (published January 7, 2025 from Scribner/Simon & Schuster), I wouldn't mind earning my way into the rarefied air of bestselling authors. But still: *not* Dean Koontz. Totally different guy. What keeps the lights on during my quest for literary success? Freelance writing. You may have seen me in: —Zapier —Atlassian —CreditKarma —Trello —Skillshare —ValuePenguin —GoToMeeting —Content Science Review Or you may *not* have seen me ghostwriting for TheStreet, financial blogs, real estate companies, or writing ebooks, whitepapers, and bios for C-suite executives who need to strike a balance between professional and engaging, between witty and worthwhile. A lifelong writer, I have been at the freelancing game since the Great Financial Crisis found me looking for work—at which point I thought: Hmm, let's see if I can write for money online. Turns out you can. I built myself up from penny-per-word assignments (want hiking tips, anyone?) to a full-fledged freelancer helping big-time financial companies convert readers into clients. Since then my work has been in storytelling, in one form or another. Freelancing supports my fiction habit, but ultimately, my work boils down to this: I will help you find the words to build great levers in business and in life. I'm available, so ask me how. (Dean Koontz is probably busy.)

Freelance Writer & Content Marketing Strategist

Jan 2009Present · 17 yrs 4 mos · Greater Milwaukee Area

  • As a Freelance Copywriter & Content Marketing Strategist, I partner with companies from around the world to craft copy that is proven to convert. My email marketing campaigns consistently generate response rates ranging from 55% to 70%, which is 5x higher than the industry standard. Whether you are selling consumer goods or just released a hot new technology, I have the secret recipe to attract, hook, and reel in consumers.
  • I am a ‘Top Provider’ on UpWork, a leading freelancing platform, where I consistently maintain a 97%+ client satisfaction rate. I have also been featured by name-drop-worthy media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, the Milwaukee Sentinel, and Grasshopper.
  • Although I am a master of direct copy, I have dabbled in my fare share of eBooks, poems, short stories, and even a novel. In general, if there is writing or wordsmithing involved, Kenitz Copywriting is in.
  • Best of all, I offer free consultations! Drop me a line through LinkedIn, email, or through my website. You never know where the conversation will bring us.
