Hi, I'm Cydney!
I’m the creative brain behind Departed Creature. I’m a cognitive behavioral neuroscientist, writer, poet and full-time weirdo.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes, writing for your own brand can be the hardest part of the process.
Why? Because we’re our biggest critics.
We get all gassed up on our ideas, sit down to write, and suddenly realize we’ve been sucked into a void of nothingness.
Lucky for you, there’s a few insane people (me) out there who actually enjoy that process.
Treat Yourself To Something Stellar
We’ll take care of the rest.

We Promise To...
Provide you with an attentive, supportive and lucrative copyriting partnership filled with...
High Quality Communication
My biggest pet peeve in business partnerships is unresponsiveness. I will always do my best to return your e-mail inquiries within 48 hours.
If you’re looking for quick answers, we can set up additional calls to provide you the support you need.
Personalized Strategies
There is no one-size-fits-all copywriting solution. Each brand requires its own unique special sauce. While I can’t promise immediate results (your marketing team will play a large role in this), I can promise to meet you where you’re at and provide you with the tools to start moving you toward success.
Ongoing Copy
Support
I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to pay for something I didn’t absolutely love. All of my a-la-carte and package deals come with one complimentary revision.
And for those with long term contracts, we’ll meet monthly to ensure your copy remains on brand!

I specialize in pregnancy, travel, plant medicine and mental health. Some other niche's that I have written extensively in are music, festivals, sports and life insurance.
What makes me a specialist in the niches I work with is mix of first hand experience and education.
I have a background in cognitive behavioral neuroscience, which allows me to excel in research and break down complex topics in layman's terms.
As for plant medicine and travel -- these are areas of my life that I have been extremely passionate about for the majority of my life. I have traveled to various world countries, participated in sacred plant medicine ceremonies, volunteered with MAPS, worked as a psychedelic harm reduction counselor through Zendo Project and worked with various plant medicine companies.
I think pregnancy goes without saying -- I've lived it. Trust me, I know it pretty well.
Yes! As a freelance writer and researcher, I enjoy learning about new topics and conducting research to put together informational and relatable content.
If it's something I feel I can't handle, I will tell you straight up and refer you to one of my partners! If there's one thing about me, it's that I'm not trying to waste either of our time. After all, time is money.
I have a B.S. in Cognitive Behavioral Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego.
While I was attending college, I worked in the Mind, Experience, Perception Lab with Dr. Karen Dobkins studying Mindfulness, Mental Well-Being and Emotional Disclosure.
Yes! I thoroughly enjoy writing SEO targeted landing pages and copywriting for partial or full websites.
Absolutely. I am well versed in the world of on-page Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Whether you provide me with the keywords, or need me them to dig them up for you--I will implement best on-page SEO practices to ensure your website or blog articles start ranking on google.
Yes! While I am not a web developer, I built this beautiful blog that you are on now, and am very comfortable working in the back end of your WordPress site. Especially if you use Elementor. Whether it's updating the copy on your website or uploading new blog posts, we can absolutely work this into your package.
Note: I do NOT write CSS or HTML
My turnaround time depends on the size of the project. Most 1,000-2,000 word blog posts have a 48 hour turnaround time. Same goes for single landing pages. If you're looking for full website copy, this will take a bit longer. Please reach out to me and we will set up a time to go over the details of your project!
