Nomadic Ramblings
S. Parris, Lifestyle Writer & Editor
covering food, travel and other leisure content
Freelance Writer. Nomadic Traveler. Amateur Photographer. Tatted Yogi & Runner.
My writing experience spans decades, which has allowed me to approach professional writing from almost every angle. I started my career as a journalist and an entertainment editor for a local magazine. Following my time in the publishing industry, I ventured into the wonderful worlds of copywriting, PR, and marketing. After several years of writing with the consumer in mind, I decided to take a more holistic approach to my work by producing content that focused on self-help and mental wellness. As a freelance writer, I have also created feature content for multiple travel sites, law firms, real estate companies, mortgage brokers, product manufacturers, small businesses, other local magazines, and even general practitioners.
Presently, I am a lifestyle writer, content editor,
and avid world traveler — and loving every minute of it.
