Hello! I’m Leonie Mercedes, a freelance content writer, editor and reporter.
As a reporter, I write articles about innovation in engineering and sustainability for Ingenia, the Royal Society of Engineering’s magazine for 13-25s. Last year I wrote a set of science-themed brainteasers for New Scientist. I also contributed an entry to Atlas Obscura: Wild Life, which landed in bookshops in September 2024.
On the content side, I’ve written whitepapers and ebooks for businesses including TV streaming tech company Roku, food services provider Sodexo, and IT and digital consultancy Mando, and I’ve edited best practice guides and learning materials for digital marketing trainer Econsultancy. I’ve also written and ghostwritten blog posts for Econsultancy, Digital Doughnut, crmsquad and Roku.
Subscribers to my nerdy newsletter Kicks from Science receive a weekly drop of lecture listings, urban astronomy and bite-sized stories from weird science history every Friday, while my other newsletter Cosmic Latte provides tips and inspiration for freelance creatives.
