Writer Resume Guide — Content, Editorial, and Copywriting Roles

Writer resumes should prove you can produce work that performs — traffic, conversions, engagement, or readership.

Quantify content impact: 'Wrote 100+ SEO articles that drove 2M organic visits and $400K in attributed revenue.'

Show range: 'Produced blog posts, landing pages, email campaigns, and long-form guides across 3 industries.'

Mention SEO: 'Ranked 30+ articles on page 1 of Google through keyword research and on-page optimization.'

Include conversion copy: 'Rewrote the pricing page copy, lifting conversion rate from 1.8% to 2.9%.'

List tools: Google Analytics, Ahrefs, SEMrush, WordPress, HubSpot, Figma, and content management systems.

Link a portfolio or bylines prominently — writing is proven by work, not words about work.

Show editorial skills: 'Edited a team of 5 freelancers, cutting turnaround times by 40%.'
