A three-quarter-profile photo of the writer Devon Maloney, smiling with her head on her hands.

hi! i’m devon.

and i’m a wordmonger.

Former journalist, current copywriter and content writer, forever editor. Let’s make some good sentences together.

The internet has gotten sloppy.

Every brand is using the same AI-generated text.

Blah, blah, emoji bullet point. Fragment, question mark? Emdash — blah.

Then, there’s all that industry jargon.

Half your customers are bored. The other half are confused. 

To stand out, you’re gonna need

a little something … extra.

  • “Devon has the ability to find the right level of depth needed to reach and persuade an audience. She knows how to keep it simple and approachable enough for digestion, but substantial enough to support a deeper understanding. Plus, she understands that B2B marketing still needs a beating heart in the middle of it all. Her work captures emotion because she knows that we’re still communicating human to human.”

    Matt Collins, VP of Product Marketing, MNTN

  • “As a versatile writer and consummate professional, Devon quickly became our go-to person for writing and editing assignments, from branded content and long-form thought leadership to case studies and more. Devon seamlessly adapted our unique brand voice across content types and never failed to elevate our storytelling through her writing. I would jump at the chance to work with Devon again any day."

    Lima Al-Azzeh, Senior Editor, Slack

  • "Devon is a rare talent and was a valuable partner to me in my role. Whenever I felt something was ‘off’ about a story we were telling with a project, she would instantly grasp what I was getting at. Her ability to edit and revise on the fly in a fast-paced environment was incredibly helpful. She not only nails brand voice, but understand copy’s impact and role in various contexts, and just gets how copy fits with design. She made a huge impact on the success of our marketing launches, and I thoroughly enjoyed our collaboration and partnership."

    Sharon Hom, Creative Director, MNTN

  • "Devon took lead on strategic planning ahead of the [repeal of] Roe v. Wade, allowing us to prepare a full response content strategy. Without her work here, we would not have been able to respond to the news as thoroughly or thoughtfully as we did — a big win for our brand overall."

    Deedi Brown, Senior Content Strategist, Ellevest

  • “Working with Devon was an absolute privilege. She’s the kind of rare content expert who can effortlessly toggle between big-picture strategy and pixel-level precision. Whether crafting UX copy or creating style guides to scale best practices, Devon has a gift for translating complex concepts into clear, approachable language that resonates. As a product marketer, I relied on her daily as a sounding board, editor, and partner. She’s a collaborative force and a natural leader.”

    Jon Zucker, Director of Product Marketing, MNTN

As a millennial, I’ve worn countless hats over the course of my career, which means I’m an expert in adapting my skills to the client and the job at hand.

Note: The services in question have expanded since this photo was taken.

I’ve worked with clients of all sizes, each with their own unique needs and goals. Take a look at my past copy and content work for a sense of how I deliver.

Where the magic happens. (My home office in Los Angeles.)

I spent the first decade of my career working at magazines, freelancing for taste-making websites, and interviewing major figures in entertainment.

Technically this photo is from 2020, but doesn’t it make me look cool and cultured?
