Brittany VanDerBill is a freelance writer specializing in personal finance, insurance, and travel articles. Her portfolio includes bylines in publications like Travel + Leisure, HerMoney, Better Homes & Gardens, People, Subaru Drive, and more. Brittany also creates blogs and website copy for marketing agencies and businesses. She is skilled at adapting tone of voice to match her clients and she enjoys writing about a wide variety of topics.
Her editors have said, “I have probably edited 400+ different writers’ work in my career, and Brittany is in the top 5 best writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Whether she’s parsing complex financial information, throwing in a clever joke to make a lede pop, or giving step-by-step instructions in an engaging way, Brittany’s writing is simply the best, and I would trust her with my most important projects. It’s also worth mentioning that she is a delight to work with and her bright spirit always brings a smile to my face.”
When she’s not writing, you can find Brittany traveling (and dreaming up pitch ideas for her editors, of course) or enjoying a good book and a glass of Cab at home with her husband and her spoiled cat.
