I’m Mark, a freelance writer, journalist, and editor. I am currently the Arts, Culture, & Community Editor for South Seattle Emerald.
As an editor I offer developmental editing, line editing, and author coaching. I am a trusted resource for both new and established writers.
I typically write about Seattle news, restaurants, arts, culture, and LGBTQIA2S+ issues. My work has appeared in Vice, Mashable, South Seattle Emerald, The Seattle Times, BuzzFeed, The Stranger, and more.
I was the interim guest editor for Eater Seattle in fall 2021, and have been writing social media and promotional copy for Seattle Restaurant Week and Good Food Kitchens since 2022.
