Veteran writer with over 25 years of experience in communications and business writing
My specialty is writing about the wheels of commerce and entrepreneurship. I am passionate about writing about business and industry. As a longtime business reporter I've learned that every business has a story to tell. Some businesses have extraordinary stories to tell, but their owners, managers and employees are often too busy or too close to their companies to get messages out effectively.
Types of writing include:
Widely-published journalist
My stories have been published in USA Today, Charlotte Business Journal, Associated Press, Nashville City Paper, Tampa Bay Business Journal, Nashville Post, Nashville Business Journal, Jacksonville Business Journal, Nashville Ledger, Birmingham Business Journal, Nashville Lifestyles, Nashville Post Magazine, The Tennessean, Atlanta Business Chronicle, Milwaukee Business Journal, Knoxville News Sentinel, Northwest Georgia News, Orlando Business Journal, Jacksonville Business Journal, Clarksville Leaf-Chronicle, Gallatin News-Examiner and BizJournals.com.

Here's what people I've worked with say......
'Trusted, go-to contributor' "After her first few freelance assignments for the Nashville Post, Linda quickly became a trusted, go-to contributor for the publication's various platforms. An insightful reporter and writer, Linda consistently delivered assigned stories on deadline that met or exceeded editorial expectations with their thoroughness, thoughtfully crafted narratives and strict attention to detail and the direction she had been provided. In addition, Linda was always easily accessible and pleasant to work with via phone or email. I highly recommend her for any writing projects and assignments." — Erin Lawley, Managing Editor, Nashville Post "Goes the extra mile' “Linda Bryant is an excellent reporter/writer who regularly goes the extra mile to dig up important details, check facts and find the unusual angle or personal detail that makes a story come alive. She is also a lovely and innately curious person who can write confidently about a wide range of diverse topics, from business and art to health care and religion.” — Rebecca Denton Reporter, The Tennessean 'Improves the skills of those around her' “Linda is a great leader and wonderful writer. She quickly digests complex issues and presents them in a way that is clear, concise and engaging. She not only performs at a high level, she improves the skills of those around her.” — Brandon Puttbrese, Reporter, The News Examiner 'Linda shines' “Linda is one of the most creative storytellers I have worked with. She has a passion for discovering knowledge and sharing that knowledge in a way that is compelling to others. Linda is a hard worker, known for meeting deadlines and giving her all. Her status as a veteran reporter shows in everything she does. From investigative reporting to feature writing and everything in between, Linda shines.” — Cynthia Yeldell, Reporter/Writer, Nashville Business Journal 'Approaches each story with tenacity and intelligence' “Linda was a pleasure to work with. Her passion for writing is palpable. She constantly strives to hone her craft and approaches each story with tenacity and intelligence. She is a lifelong learner and her enthusiasm for her work and life in general is both refreshing and contagious.” — Scott Takac, Assistant Managing Editor, Nashville Business Journal 'She has a way with words.' “I first met Linda through a Ladies Who Launch networking class. I immediately liked her. She has a way with words but more importantly listens. She wrote my bio for my photo website. After she interviewed me for about 20 minutes she was able to totally get what I was about!! She is a delight to be around and brings a truly new and unique voice to this world.” — Mary Claire Crow, Mary Claire Art 'Infectious team spirit' “I worked with Linda at The Tennesseean while freelancing for Davidson AM. She squired me through the process and advised me on many occasions. I found her mentorship invaluable and was able to see her writing process and her work ethic close up. She is diligent, creative and has a fabulous and infectious team spirit. She is also a wonderful poet.” — Colleen Creamer, Freelance Writer, Creative Writing Services |
