Experience

    • Copywriter
      • Apr 1984 - Present

      Just like The Muse in Barry Manilow's song, "I write the words that make the whole world buy...I write the words that make you give it a try...I write the words that make your hit counter fly...I write the words, I write the words..."I write wonderful, winsome words - ads, letters, articles, websites, stories, songs and poems to bless, heal and inspire mankind. I tell your company or personal story in a compelling, clear, and clever way to attract the attention you want, and get your desired results - close a sale, get an email address or phone number, get a date, express an opinion, share a feeling, make a request, make an offer, inspire, heal, provoke, comfort, afflict, bless, or otherwise change the world.

      • 1978 - Present

      I have created compelling sales copy and profit-maximizing marketing campaigns for more than 600 projects since 1978. Copy writing experience includes website sales copy and content, email copy, direct mail copy, press releases, print ads, radio copy, TV copy, social media copy, white papers, special reports and corporate collateral material.

    • Reporter Photographer
      • Mar 1976 - Jul 1978

      Wrote hard news, feature stories and "puff" (PR) pieces. Loved the feature stories best - people, places, events, drama, comedy, tragedy. Got my chops through lots of writing on deadlines. Learned to get to the Who What When Where Why and How ASAP. Developed a profound respect and hunger for "fascinating facts." Picked up my first freelance writing clients from people who saw my stories in print.
