About Me

This is where I’m supposed to craft a witty, engaging and possibly humorous summary all about myself. (The pressure!)

I’m Brittany VanDerBill {writer}

You probably clicked on this page because you’re looking to get to know me. It’s tough to do that just by reading a website, but let’s give it a shot.

If you haven’t picked up on it by now, I’m a freelance writer and editor, but I used to be a licensed insurance agent.

Explaining a complex topic like insurance to someone and seeing them actually “get” it and what their policy means for them was one of the highlights of being an agent.

In 2015, I started my social media marketing and consulting business with a minor emphasis on writing services. Today, I specialize in writing about complex topics in a way that makes sense to the reader (that insurance background comes in handy!).

I also have hands-on experience with public policy engagement and grassroots advocacy. This includes serving on the Minnesota Attorney General’s Task Force on Worker Misclassification, tracking and translating legislation, briefing lawmakers, and completing multiple advocacy trips to Washington, D.C.

In 2025, I was recognized with an Emerging Leader Award from the Willmar Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce for my local and statewide advocacy efforts.

Today, I’m leveraging my advocacy and campaign experience to support organizations and leaders who align with my values. I’m looking to partner with clients who want to drive awareness and advocacy around labor policy, workforce and economic freedom, and independent work.

Whether I’m writing for a publication, a business, or a state legislative campaign, I adapt my tone to accurately reflect my client’s voice and vision.

When I’m not writing or diving into public policy, you’ll find me at home with a good book, my husband, and my adorable (but spoiled) cat.
