 vAQZZZQ`This list was organized by Cara Jordan, an art historian and editor who runs Flatpage, an editorial agency and publishing house. The list grew out of the numerous requests for qualified and engaging arts writers from clients, including artists, museums, galleries, dealers, and others. Since Flatpage offers limited ghostwriters, this list was created in order to connect authors with potential clients. The list is crowdsourced and the writers should be contacted directly by potential clients; Flatpage is an editorial agency and does not vet the authors listed below and we are providing this list free of charge. Please use this list with care: we expect that all authors will represent themselves honestly and authentically and that all clients will treat the authors with respect and offer fair wages. We recommend a minimum rate of $1 per word, although more qualified/experienced authors should certainly expect more.

Kitty P London, UKI am a freelance writer and researcher with a focus on 17th-century women artists and the role of jewellery in early modern portraiture. My work explores how women used self-portraiture and adornment to express authorship, identity, and status in a period when their creative labor was often marginalized. I am currently in the second year of my undergraduate degree in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art, and my research is supported by hands-on experience in historic collections and archives, including Hatfield House, Knole (National Trust), the Courtauld Gallery, and Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft. My current work focuses on overlooked female artists, the symbolic language of adornment, and how jewellery functioned as both personal statement and public narrative in early modern art.www.linkedin.com/in/kitty-perringWritten Sampleskittyperring@gmail.com
