Portfolio at a Glance

Following is a very small sampling of the projects I have delivered to my clients over the past 20 years. A number of my recent clients do not feel comfortable having the work I created exclusively for them posted to a public website.  I completely understand and can appreciate this request.

I am, however, able to share samples of all my work during a client meeting, or through email. If you are interested in learning more about how I can create unique and attention-getting communication pieces for your business, please contact me and I will be happy to share additional samples of my portfolio with you. Chances are I have already created the type of communication piece you need!


Annual Reports

I have produced and/or written copy for a number of annual reports. I work side-by-side with the report’s designers and photographers to ensure that my copy complements the corresponding visuals .

Articles

Whether written under my byline, or ghost-written for a client, I have written numerous articles on a vast array of subjects. These articles have appeared in newspapers, magazines, newsletters (internal and external) and online publications.

Brochures

Whether you need a big-budget, glossy brochure, a simple black-and-white piece or an online explanation of your product or service, I can create a brochure for your business that is both informative and interesting.

Ezines

The use of ezines by companies ─ both small and large ─ has exploded over the past ten years. I have been hired by a number of companies who needed concise, well-written copy for their ezines.

Many small companies and single proprietorships have turned to me when they want to send out direct mail letters to clients or potential clients.

Newsletters

Newsletters are one of my specialties, as I have written and/or produced hundreds of newsletters during the past 20 years. These newsletters have included high-end mailed newsletters, web-based intranet newsletters, inexpensive employee newsletters and direct mail newsletters from small businesses to the local community.

Product and Service Launches

The introduction of a new product or service requires thoughtful and concise communications. The communications must take into consideration both internal and external stakeholders and provide specific information to the right people, in the right format, at the right time.

White Papers

I have assisted in the production and written copy for several White Papers.
