About me: What you need to know

about

Writing is my calling, music is my passion, family makes it easy leave a job I love everyday

Hi, my name is Blake Snow.

I’m a bestselling author, bodacious writer-for-hire, executive consultant, and practicing husband and father. When blogging was still cool, I started keyboarding and became a popular contributor, technology critic, and feature writer to half of the top 20 U.S. media. Today, I help fancy publications and Fortune 500 companies tell better stories with insightful reporting, daring words, and explanatory journalism. I do that in three ways:

  1. I sell custom editorial, articles, reports, ghostwriting, and content strategy to said companies, including requests to “make us sound interesting, find our narrative voice, and reach more readers.”
  2. I serve as an editor-at-large, helping understaffed marketing and communication teams with story ideation, editorial calendars, content production, and writing assignments.
  3. I am a speaker-for-hire and train companies on what 16 years of content marketing have taught me.

When I’m not working, I enjoy logging off, raising children with my soulmate, making records (really!)travel writingsinging in a cover band, exercising, trying to visit all seven continents, and cooking. I chase experiences more than paper. I believe people are inherently good. And if you disagree, you’re wrong.

Email is the best way to contact me. If you’ve made it this far, thanks for reading.
