Writer.
Creative strategist.
Dog enthusiast.

I can’t play the bassoon.

 

I won't dance. (Don't ask me.)

I'm not a cobbler. 

I know nothing about keeping bees.

I won't lie to you; there are a lot of things I can't do.

But writing and creative strategy?
Those I can do. 
Those I've been doing for a long time.

Take a look around. If there's anything I can do for you, get in touch.

Depending on what we're talking about, that is.

Because I'm not a botanist. And I don't know how to fix a carburetor. 

This is a bit awkward, but there’s something I should probably tell you.

I won't write for you. And I certainly won't write to you.

Oh, I'll write about you, and I'll even write with you, if you're into that kind of thing. But I'll write for, and to, your audience.

Words are my religion. Not literally; that would be insane. Although…if I could get tax-exempt status…sorry, that’s not why you’re here. The point is, I take writing very seriously.

I mean, I have a freakin’ credo for crying out loud.

 

Let’s just get this out in the open.

There are people out there who can't fathom why hiring a writer would be necessary. 

Truth be told, the reasons for their hesitation, like the three below, often sound quite sensible.

But then, "Academy Award-nominee Gary Busey” once sounded sensible too. 

It never hurts to reassess. That's all I'm saying.

 
 
 

  • There’s a reason no one stands in line to hear me warble “Misty” or tell snarky one-liners about airplane food. Sure, I know how, but I don’t have know-how.

    Professionals have know-how. They do their things—whatever their things are—better than the average person can. 

    You know what "the average person" is the average of, right? "Everybody."

    So yes, everybody knows how to write. But is average good enough? 

    If not, you do have a choice: There's the professional, and there's everybody else.

  • Most ads, brochures, and websites act as a company's emissaries, right?

    Right. And that's too bad. Because they should be enforcers.

    An emissary delivers a message. An enforcer makes sure you get the message. 

    Enforcers motivate people. Enforcers make things happen.

    A good writer can transform your messages from emissaries into enforcers.

    The results? Fuhgeddaboutit.

  • When so much is so similar, so stale, or just plain so-so, readers and consumers notice things that aren’t.

    Creativity is an investment. Your short-term return is people's attention. Your long-term return is their business. 

    And, as with traditional investments, providers' fees vary greatly based on two factors:

    1. Skill. This is invaluable.

    2. Operating costs. These are inevitable. (And inflatable.)

    As a highly experienced, independent writer and CD, I provide fiercely creative work at very civilized rates.

 

Say hey.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.

In fact, get in touch even if your question has nothing to do with anything even remotely relevant. Really, I know lots of useless information.
