Martha Polk

As a freelance brand storyteller, I specialize in all forms of writing and editing—from ghostwriting books to copyediting ads, and everything in between.

My decade of experience also includes editorial project management, stakeholder storytelling and executive communications, internal and external comms strategy, mission/vision and editorial alignment, targeted campaigns and audience growth strategy, rebranding and redesign, fact-checking, and digital & print publication oversight.

I work across platforms and industries, partnering with purpose-driven nonprofits, schools, museums, and arts & entertainment organizations to tell the most compelling stories behind their work. Previous clients include: Earthjustice, Museum of the Courageous, CARE, Walker Art Center, High Museum of Art, Museum of the Moving Image, The Giving Kitchen, Marcy Lab School, Woodward Academy, Emory University, and several nonfiction book projects.
