Hi! I’m Lauren Hamer.
I live in North Carolina and began freelance writing in 2016. I’m also the owner of a successful resume writing business that helps professionals job search with confidence. I’m a Certified Financial Education Instructor℠ (CFEI®), a budding aging-in-place expert, and a modern-day homesteader. When I'm not writing, you’ll find me wandering the NC mountain ranges trying to escape WiFi signal with my dog, Lyle. And my husband — can’t forget him :)
Fun fact: The name of this website, CaPABLE and Beyond, was inspired by my life with cerebral palsy. The capital letters stand for “CP able,” a homage to those of us with unique capabilities masquerading as “disabilities.”
My main service: Writing and editing long-form content for finance/fintech, commerce, and consumer service brands. Freelancer management and editorial operations for start-ups and small businesses.

My differentiators
Seamless onboarding: I’ve worked with dozens of clients, each using different systems and platforms, and with varying performance goals. I’ll quickly align with your expectations and workflow to deliver high-quality content aligned to your brand guidelines.
A true taskmaster: I complete most of my projects early. There’s never been a deadline I didn’t hit, and I’ll never go dark. My communication is consistent, professional, and concise.
No hand-holding: Count on me to ask the right questions up front and suggest opportunities for improvement without a lot of back-and-forth.
Authority-driven work: Expect well-developed thoughts and arguments refined through a decade of experience working with top brands. I deliver work with a strong POV that needs minimal revisions or rewrites.
SEO integration: I’ll integrate your keywords thoughtfully. This includes internal and external linking (from original high-quality sources only) to help boost your site’s authority. Most of my drafts score an A- on Clearscope.
Topic variety: My bread and butter is finance and retirement, but my research and writing abilities allow me to deliver quality work on a variety of topics. Interests include healthy aging, non-toxic living, homesteading, senior housing, estate planning, Social Security, and functional health.
Content flexibility: Most of my experience is in long-form articles, but I’ve also drafted emails, case studies, web pages, and video scripts. I believe that good writers can write anything.
My ideal client
Generic content is out. (I can write it…if you really, really, really want it and are willing to pay for it.) But I much prefer working with clients who are ready to get specific.
Share real insights, internal data, or lived experiences
Leverage internal expertise and perspectives
Actually talk about their products, processes, target audience, customer base, etc.
