Nathaniel Dickson, PhD

Professional researcher, writer, educator, and editor.


I offer content writing, ghost writing, and full-spectrum (developmental, line, and copy) editing services. My areas of professional knowledge and interest include:

  • Public health
  • Gender equality
  • LGBTQIA+ issues
  • Education, especially critical thinking and information literacy
  • Environmental justice
  • US politics and culture
  • Interdisciplinary humanities
  • Speculative literature

I adjust my register and voice to meet my writing and editing clients’ needs—from analytic to informational, neutral-voiced to sharply personal. My work is evidence-based, contextually grounded, and adaptable. I am happy to work with values-aligned organizations and individuals in various mediums, from newsletters to essays and books. With more than a decade teaching rhetoric and writing in a university setting, I value relationship-building and helping to ensure your narrative is effective, sincere, and reflects your personal or organizational values and goals.

I work equally well in public, academic, and creative registers and additionally offer educational workshops and seminars, writing consultation and editing services, and guest speaking. I am especially committed to supporting writers, organizations, and providers committed to serving transgender and LGBTQIA+ clients in challenging political contexts, as well as solutions-focused workshops on communicating effectively in a disinformation-heavy context.
