Anita Isalska

Independent Content Marketing Consultant

After leaving my home town of Manchester, England, I followed my love of the written word to the libraries of Oxford University. I gained my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and French, followed by a Master's in literature, taking a year out in between to live and work in France. 

Gathering momentum in my career as an editor and copywriter, I spent several years working at legal publishing and digital content companies in London before going freelance. Soon after, I migrated to Melbourne in Australia where I wrote and edited for several major travel and lifestyle brands.  

I’ve been lucky to travel widely, and writing has always directed my path. During my time as a freelance journalist, I’ve reported from remote islands, radioactive wastelands, and countries that don't officially exist. I have researched and written more than 20 Lonely Planet travel books, with a focus on France, Eastern Europe, and Australia.  

A combination of love and opportunity brought me to the US in 2018, first to the San Francisco Bay Area, and now to Seattle. Along the way, I've been a founding content marketer at Rippling and Superhuman, and built ground-up content strategies for growing startups. 

Whether I’m creating content about technology, sustainability, or workplace trends, my guiding principle remains the same: curiosity. I'm always eager to show readers a new perspective.
