Lauren Hamer, CFEI®: Audience-first writer and editor
I write words about personal finance, retirement, and healthy aging.
Specifically, I help readers make smart decisions with expertise-driven content. Here are just a few results I've produced for clients (without AI’s help):
Placed roundups, best-ofs, and product reviews on page one of SERPs (positions 2 to 8) for RetirementLiving.com.
Edited or wrote 800+ long-form, e-commerce, and explanatory articles regularly featured on ConsumerAffairs, NCOA, Fortune, BHG Financial, and more.
Created the first-ever disability-related piece for The Muse.
“Lauren is an ambitious writer and a stylistic chameleon who can roam across many registers of language. Her writing ranges from crisp and elegant to playful and hip, depending on campaign requirements.”

What You Can Expect From Me
Seamless onboarding: I’ve worked with dozens of clients, which means I’ll quickly align with your expectations and workflow to deliver quality content.
Unmatched professionalism: I complete most of my projects early. You won’t have to worry about missed deadlines or inconsistent communication.
Minimal oversight: I’m not someone you have to worry about. Count on me to ask the right questions upfront and suggest opportunities for improvement, without lots of back-and-forth.
Standard of excellence: Expect well-developed thoughts and arguments. I deliver work that needs minimal revisions or rewrites.
SEO integration: I’ll integrate your keywords thoughtfully. This includes internal and external linking (from original high-quality sources only) to help boost your site’s authority. Most of my drafts score an A- on Clearscope.
Topic variety: My bread and butter is finance and retirement, but my top-notch research and writing abilities allow me to deliver quality work on a variety of topics. Interests include healthy aging, non-toxic living, homesteading, senior housing, estate planning, Social Security, and functional health.
Content flexibility: Most of my experience involves long-form articles, but I’ve also drafted emails, case studies, webpages, and one-pagers. I believe that good writers can write anything.
