Hi, I’m Jenny Qi, a freelance writer, content strategist, and PhD-trained scientist with a passion for turning complex ideas into compelling stories.
I partner with marketing teams, startups, and mission-driven organizations—especially in biotech, health tech, life sciences, sustainability, and food—to craft high-impact content that builds trust, drives engagement, and communicates real value.
Whether it’s a white paper for investors, a case study for sales enablement, or blog content that builds thought leadership, I combine scientific rigor with journalistic curiosity and creative storytelling. The result? Clear, human-centered content that resonates with your audience and supports your business goals.
Why Work With Me?
✅ Scientific expertise, translated. With a PhD in biomedical science and hands-on research experience, I understand your subject matter, and I know how to make it meaningful to your audience.
✅ Marketing savvy. I’ve worked full-time in market research and content strategy. I get the big picture, and I tailor every piece to fit your funnel, brand voice, and objectives.
✅ Storytelling that connects. As a published journalist and award-winning author, I bring a human touch and narrative sensibility to everything I write, ensuring your content is not only accurate, but engaging and memorable.
✅ A strategic partner. I don’t just deliver words. I bring ideas, ask smart questions, and think ahead. I’m here to make your job easier, not add to your plate.

“I worked with Jenny Qi on several assignments for Attention Span Media, including individual articles for HormelFoods.com and a chapter in “The Future of Medicine” for the Jacobs Institute. Jenny was always fast, thorough, and efficient, so reliable that I went back to her again and again when we needed a writer. Her copy always came in clean, and whenever we requested changes she turned them around quickly and on point. She has a poet’s eye for language and a scientist’s mind for logic, a rare combination. What’s more, she’s a pleasure to work with.“
Larry Habegger, Managing Editor for Special Projects, Attention Span Media
“Jenny’s incredible work on the State of Human Milk Banking report for California was such an important contribution, and I deeply appreciate the time and thought she put into it. I’ve received many positive comments from our hospital partners, board members, and community members on the thoroughness and clarity of the report, and it’s helping to move the needle not only for our organization but for maternal and infant health throughout California. Jenny’s writing is excellent, requiring hardly any edits and able to convey a wealth of information while remaining engaging and focused on human impact. Her ability to communicate complex data in an accessible and compelling way is a true asset to our efforts.”
