Katie Kelton
Writer + editor
I'm Katie, writer and editor with seven years of experience in brand creative and personal finance.
With the ability to research and break down complex topics, I write and edit copy that educates audiences of all levels and excels in search results.
What I do
Content writing
I conduct industry research and host interviews to write articles that drive traffic and inform readers. Personal finance and credit cards are my bread and butter. I’ve also written for a number of local magazines.
Copywriting
I write brand-specific website, campaign and ad copy that converts. From problem to solution to call to action, I put your customers front and center in your story.
Editing
I edit long-form and short-form copy for content structure, flow and grammatical perfection.

Select works I’ve written
I’m a credit card writer. Here are 7 things I wish I’d known about money in my early 20s
For the first half of my 20s, I thought about money in the same way you might think about grocery shopping or laundry — a chore, but not requiring more brain space than necessary to get food on the shelves or clean clothes in the closet. As long as there was enough money at the end of the month to pay my bills, I figured I was doing all right.
Why I moved to Texas
New college graduates, young working parents, midcareer professionals and Elon Musk are part of the big wave of Californians who have moved to Texas in the last few years. The reasons are myriad. Job loss, cost of living and taxes are a few of the boxes you’ll see ticked on public surveys.
As Californians pack up and head east, Texas seems to receive them with open arms. I spoke with 10 former Californians about the good, the bad and the just-plain-unexpected they found in the Lone Star State.
