Mina Frost – Freelance Editor and Writer

I’ve been in the media industry for the past 6 years, and a freelancer for 2 more years on top of that. I’ve edited book manuscripts, marketing copy, long-form reports and social media posts. I’ve written about leveraged finance, the fine wine market, Black Friday sales and climate education. I consider myself medium- and topic-agnostic – what matters to me is helping you refine your content and convey your message just as you would like it to be.

Below are just some of my experiences and projects over the years:
