Few remote freelancers fit so seamlessly with a business that it feels like they’re in the office with you—but that’s one of Sharon Wu’s best qualities. I hired Sharon to write highly specialized articles for my company, and she immediately made a direct impact both on our processes and on the quality of our content. She flawlessly adopted our voice and tone, while setting the tone for how hands-on testing shines through in our work. She has also shown herself to be remarkably efficient and has consistently outstripped deadlines. But even though she makes quick work of things, it has never taken away from the thoroughness, authenticity, or quality of her work. I can’t say enough about her talent, versatility, and communication, and I would highly recommend her to create content that will surpass your expectations.

Eric Paulsen Content Manager, Helpful

I'm incredibly lucky to have found Sharon. I've worked with well over 50 writers, and Sharon is up there with the best on all fronts. She's an incredible writer, perfectly executes the brief every time, surprisingly quick (without losing quality), and is always responsive. I will be using and recommending Sharon's services for a very long time.

Jake Ward Founder, Content Growth

Finding good freelance writers is challenging. But great writers? That can prove downright impossible. And then there's Sharon. Uniquely gifted in conveying complex, technical topics in a clear and concise way, Sharon can be relied on for just about any writing project. She's a consummate professional, who always delivers on time and is uber-responsive. She's without a doubt one of the very best I've worked with.

About Me

Hi! I’m Sharon — but my friends call me Share (short for ShareBear).

I started freelance writing after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of California, San Diego in 2013. My solopreneurial journey began in the UGC space (sponsored blog content).

In 2022, I transitioned into writing for leading media outlets including CBS News, CNN Underscored, and USA TODAY. I combine my research skills with expertise from interviewing SMEs to create helpful, authoritative content.

When not writing, I enjoy barre, casual drives in my BMW hardtop convertible, and beach outings with my fiancé and two pugs in Encinitas, California.

Frequently Asked Questions

I primarily work with content teams at media outlets — writing SEO blogs, how-to articles, buying guides, and product reviews.

On a case-by-case basis, I also help B2B leaders and founders build thought leadership through ghostwritten content.

Though I specialize in home and finance, I'm adaptable and cover various niches. Please see my recent projects to get a better idea of what I can do.

Rates vary depending on your goals, the scope of work, and whether you need ghostwriting. But my minimum monthly engagement is $3,500.

We'll agree on a scope of work based on your needs before beginning our first project.

If you have a strong vision for a piece, please be as specific as possible in the writer's brief for best results.

Up to 1 reasonable revision is included.

It does NOT include pre-approved outlines, graphics and images, phone interviews, or rewrites, unless discussed and agreed upon.

I can complete a paid test piece at my usual rate before we sign a contract and commit to a longer-term partnership. At this time, I'm only working with clients needing ongoing content (6+ months).

Each project is different and may need more or less time to complete. I'll give you a ballpark delivery timeline after becoming familiar with your expectations and the scope of work.

My clients say I'm notorious for outstripping deadlines... so take what you will with that 😉

I'm quickest to reply via email or Slack (and Trello/Asana for project management) on weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm PST, and don't do calls unless absolutely necessary.

For article revisions, please indicate requests in the Google Doc so I can see exactly what needs my attention.

I'll let you know in advance if I'll be OOO or slower to reply to correspondences (please do the same).

My clients enjoy working with me because I need little to no handholding.

But I still need the following from you to ensure a smooth process:

1. A detailed, realistic, and well-organized project brief to help me meet your needs and expectations

2. An installment to block off time in my schedule and begin the project (50% upfront and the remainder upon completion)

3. Quick responses to all correspondences (within 2 business days unless otherwise discussed)

I accept payment through 2 channel types:

1. Your preferred ACH payment processor: Let me know what you need from me to pay via Bill.com, Gusto, Ramp, or similar platforms.

2. PayPal or Stripe: If you pay this way, I'll add the transaction fee to the invoice.

Got a project in mind? I'd love to hear about it.
