Michael Belfiore

I'm a freelance journalist and copywriter focused on breakthrough technologies poised to change our world for the better.

I'm the author of Rocketeers: How a Visionary Band of Business Leaders, Engineers, and Pilots Is Boldly Privatizing Space (Smithsonian Books, 2007).

My current projects include articles and other reporting for Popular Mechanics and Air & Space magazine, and a new book about DARPA, the Defense Advanced Projects Agency.

I also provide marketing and public relations copywriting services to advanced technology companies.

Any successful organization—whether for profit or not—lives or dies on its ability to communicate well with customers, prospects, and funders. And if you’re in the business of developing advanced technology, you know how hard it can be to present your offerings clearly and simply and with the maximum impact.

That’s why you need a high-tech copywriting specialist—someone skilled in the art of making complex technical subjects easily understood by lay people and with the vision and experience to show how your work can change the world.

I’ve been a business communications consultant since 1995, when I landed my first gig writing technical manuals for a consultancy funded by the state of Minnesota.

Since 2004, I’ve been a freelance journalist covering breakthrough technologies for Reuters, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, New Scientist, Wired.com, Financial Times, and other outlets. I’m the author of two books on advanced technology development for HarperCollins.

Today I offer expert copywriting services for advanced technology organizations both large and small. You can rely on me for fast turnaround and reasonable rates on:

• Press releases
• White papers
• Brochures
• Website copy

...and more
