Current Role: Freelance Writer DBA Brian Eastwood Writes, LLC
Since April 2020, I’ve been a full-time freelance writer. I’ve worked directly for companies in digital health, higher education, and information security. I’ve written for a range of publications, primarily in health care technology but also in cybersecurity, federal technology, and life sciences. I’ve also contributed to small agencies that work exclusively with mission-driven companies in health care and life sciences.
I’m always open to opportunities to take on work for publications or organizations in these markets. That said, my availability is limited to the equivalent of a few hours of work a week, and I’m not interested in full-time, office-based work at this time. The flexibility of freelance work is important to me as a father.
