Hi there! 👋🏻‍

I'm Theresa "Sam" Houghton,

and I'm a writer.

If you're sick of canned, formulaic internet writing;
you prefer to focus on quality over quantity;
and you love nerding out about your area of expertise...
we might be a good fit. 😎

I have 13 years of experience writing for brands and businesses across industries.
Writing excites and energizes me: It's what I was made to do.
‍
I'm committed to continually improving my skills to deliver high-quality, well-researched pieces that follow the standards of what good writing should be—instead of pandering to the whims of algorithms.

Feedback from clients

Sam's been doing some freelance work for Superpath and has been wonderful to work with. Every piece she delivers is well-written, thorough and a breeze to read.

~ Jimmy Daly, Superpath
Sam has been amazing to work with. ... It's pretty rare to find someone that is willing to put in such a high level of care and integrity into their work. Honest, organized, smart, and not afraid to take on tough challenges.
‍
~ Tony Shields, Freshcap Mushrooms
We loved working with Sam on content marketing. She ... goes the extra mile and it really felt like she was an extension of our team and not a normal content marketing consultant.
‍
~ Matt Feldman, Moku Foods
[Sam] was able to quickly understand what we needed, schedule and complete user interviews, and write drafts with almost no management. We really appreciated her responsiveness and commitment to getting it "just right". Would definitely recommend working with Sam to help you craft communications that resonate with your audience.
