Nick Keppler, Freelance Writer and Editor

Hello,

My name is Nick Keppler. I am a freelance journalist, writer and editor.

I like the difficult stories, the ones that make me pore over studies, talk about subjects that make people uncomfortable, and explain concepts that have taken years to develop. I’ve written extensively about psychology, healthcare, and public policy. Sometimes, I take a break from all that and look into what goes into a clown’s insurance policy or watch wax figures of ex-presidents get auctioned off.

I have written for the New York Times, the Washington Post, Slate, the Daily Beast, Vice, CityLab, Men’s Health, Mental Floss, the Financial Times and other prominent publications (as well as a lot of obscure ones). I have also written podcast scripts. My journalistic heroes include Jon Ronson, Jon Krakauer and Norah Vincent.

Before I went freelance, I was an editor at the Houston Press (which is now a scarcely staffed, online-only publication) and at the Fairfield County Weekly (which is defunct).

In addition to journalism, I have done a variety of writing, editing and promotional development for businesses and universities, including the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, and individuals who needed help with writing projects.

If you think I would be a good fit for your project or publication, let’s talk! Also, if you have a tip or some information concerning a subject I cover or something I’ve written about in the past, please send me an email at nickkeppler@yahoo.com. Please do not send me PR solicitations.

Thanks for stopping by!
