Copywriting
Whether you’re selling, kvelling, or telling tales, I can provide your team with killer copy. From website landing pages, to photo captions, to back-cover blurbs, there is no word-box too small for my copywriting chops.
Maxwell Klausner
Writer. Educator. Storyteller.
I’ve been entertaining people with my stories for as long as I can remember. These days, I help students, clients, and companies tell the stories they want to tell, to the audiences they hope to reach.
Since 2022, I’ve served as Adjunct Professor of First Year Writing at Montclair State University. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing from New York University, and a Master of Arts in Teaching from the Relay Graduate School of Education. I love helping young people discover their voices, find their stories, and think critically about the world.
As a Creative Lead within Kenvue (formerly known as Johnson+Johnson Consumer Health), I’ve written scripts and brand copy, developed storyboards, directed live video shoots, and overseen post-production on a host of video series for iconic brands like BAND-AID®, Aveeno® Kids, Zyrtec®, Lubriderm® , and TYLENOL® .
In 2021, I was proud to publish Up From Ocean Avenue, a memoir written in collaboration with its subject, financial advisor Phil Ball. The book has already reached scores of readers, and is now available for order on Amazon.
I currently reside in Northern New Jersey, and love to write and read fiction, draw cartoons, and watch only the most quality reality television.
Feel free to contact me with tutoring, ghostwriting, or editing inquiries, or for a password for my private portfolio. I’m always looking for new opportunities to help others tell their story.
