I help commodity boards and other organizations with their content writing and messaging. Never short on new ideas, I provide fact-based and creative input for the development of your messaging.

I can engage with your audience via social media messaging, written content, videos, as an expert panelist, blogger or speaker.  My messages are delivered with clarity and integrity.

FREELANCE WRITING & SOCIAL MEDIA

With over 25 years of experience as a freelance writer, I’ve authored consumer books, thousands of newspaper articles, textbook chapters, journal articles, and have been quoted in numerous magazines and newspapers.  My philosophy is to make healthy living doable – no fear, no guilt.  I recommend balanced and realistic eating patterns for good health, and put the JOY back into eating with simple tips, and easy recipes.

  • Consumer Friendly Communications: Clear, evidence-based messaging about your products. I’ve co-authored several books designed to be helpful tools that will help your clients maintain a healthy lifestyle.
  • Social Media Messaging: Strategic messaging is a must for business. I craft timely, creative, and effective messaging that develops trust and helps you connect your product to your customers.
  • Content Writing: I am able to translate complex data into usable information for your clients, providing well-researched and comprehensible written work. I provide well-reasoned dietary advice to the public via my Chew the Facts blog®. As a freelance writer I can provide content for your company or industry platforms in a variety of ways.
  • Science Blogger: I can provide science-based content about food, food ingredients or biotech.

Rosanne was an incredible asset to our Digital Voices program and SXSW panel on food marketing claims.

“From the nutritionist/dietitian perspective, she was able to capture the true importance of eating healthy, showing people how to cut through the clutter and prioritize issues that matter most. And she’s so fun to collaborate with, which is a big plus!”

“I admire her tenacity in dealing with difficult issues…”

“I have worked with Rosanne Rust for almost ten years in our role as consultants to several of the same food industry clients. Rosanne has a remarkable ability to cut through the clutter of nutrition misinformation that abounds in the media to put it in its proper scientific perspective in venues ranging from traditional print publications to a variety of social media platforms. Her blog, aptly titled “Chew the Facts,” does just that in a very easy-to-read and practical way. Her nutrition books for the “For Dummies” series are also excellent for helping consumers learn how to eat a nutrient-rich diet that’s enjoyable and achievable. I admire her tenacity in dealing with difficult issues, often countering the popular opinion on nutrition that’s portrayed in the lay press with accurate, science-based facts. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a nutrition expert and creative communicator.”

Did I mention that she never missed a deadline?

"Working as Rosanne’s editor on “Hypertension Cookbook For Dummies” was a pleasure. She’s knowledgeable and creative, and has more ideas and tips for how to fit healthy cooking into a busy lifestyle than I ever thought possible. She consistently remains calm in the face of stress (and, if you’ve ever written a book, you know how stressful a publication schedule can be). Did I mention that she never missed a deadline? I think readers will truly benefit from Rosanne’s health writing in “Hypertension Cookbook,” and I’m grateful for the chance to work with her."
