This one is for all you writing and literature nerds.

 

We first met Elisa Doucette while living in Thailand, and immediately knew she was "one of us." While the digital nomad crowd was just gaining steam with this whole "online business" thing…

 

... she was already building a successful content and editing agency as a remote-working veteran.

 

Elisa is a writer, editor, and etymology expert who leads the team over at content and editing agency, Craft Your Content. 

 

With over a decade of professional writing and editing experience, she and her team have perfected the art of turning messy brain dumps into elegant prose. 

 

While her agency boasts an impressive clientele, Elisa herself is also an accomplished writer. Her work can be found in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Forbes, and more. 

 

Join us as we chat with Elisa about the craft of becoming a master, the writer's lifestyle, building a content agency from scratch, and how to pump out great writing even when your creativity goes AWOL.
