Dylan Tweney is a journalist and editor with decades of leadership experience at publications like WIRED and VentureBeat, and a respected coach and mentor to many successful writers in journalism, PR, and marketing.
I solve communications problems for tech execs and their companies. Those who are ready to be seen as leaders – not just vendors or marketers – hire me to help them develop and deploy their leadership stories and communication strategies.

Ghostwriting and coaching
Dylan is one of the people who taught me how to write. He is a brilliant editor who knows how to make prose compelling but also keep an author’s voice honest and authentic. I benefited so much from his support, both while working as a journalist, and later while writing my first book.”– Christina Farr, author and investor
I also work as a coach, mentor, and editor for entrepreneurs, executives, and others who want to tell their stories to the world in authentic, impactful ways.
I help these people establish themselves as intellectual influencers with a portfolio of impactful content that expresses their unique points of view. Whether you’re working on a byline or a book, I can help you.
I also do media training and speech coaching, drawing on my decades of experience as a news editor, journalist, and public speaker and my many media appearances.
Depending on your needs, I will be your writing coach, editor, and/or collaborator. When needed, I can ghostwrite for you, or we can work out an organic combination of writing, editing, and coaching that fits what you need.
Workshops and training
This was one of the most useful training sessions I’ve ever attended. – Account director at a tech-focused PR agency
As an editor, I’m known for a warm but incisive, hands-on style that doesn’t just improve writing but helps people become better writers. People I’ve mentored have gone on to brilliant careers at the New York Times, Fast Company, and CNN, as well as positions in leading venture firms and PR agencies. An acclaimed public speaker, I deliver practical, engaging workshops that help your team members become better writers, communicators, and thought leaders.
Recent sessions I’ve delivered:
- The Business of Writing – How to write more easily and powerfully, especially when you’re collaborating with others
- Thought Leadership 101 – How to craft stories that make you and your brand stand out
- Pitch Perfect – How to write better pitches and connect with reporters more effectively
Contact me if your organization is interested in learning how to write better, whether that’s for communications, marketing, or general business writing.
This was a fantastic workshop! I loved the structure of it, it was super engaging, and filled with real life humor we can all get behind. I keep hearing from the group how much they enjoyed your workshop. We must do it again! – Jennifer E. Matos, COOP Careers
