Low Jat Leng

Hello there!

I’m a Singapore-based freelance content writer and editor. I write approachable, compelling content that’s on brief, in voice and on time so you can focus on the bigger picture. I’m skilled at different content types, and my speciality is using journalistic practices to tell engaging stories. I’ve covered many topics, including food, education, the environment, health and healthcare, technology, and culture and history. I’m open to opportunities and will take deep dives into your subject matter. Got a project in mind? Let’s chat.
