McGuire Design - One of my favorite jobs

In the spring of 2014, I did some work for Robert McGuire, founder and owner of McGuire Design in San Antonio, TX. 

I wrote the 'What We Do' and 'The Creative Process' sections on the front page.  Robert is a very talented designer and has a talented group of people working with him.  This website is so sharp and makes my content look much better than it actually is!

Original Article - CoolKidsCan.com

In the summer of 2014, I did some ghostwriting for Valerie and CoolKidsCan.com, a site that gives tips for helping young kids learn to read.  I wrote some original articles, articles based on research, and some product reviews.

Veronica (Avec Deco Marketing) was super easy to work with and the writing was enjoyable, especially since I had experience helping my own kids learn to read.

Here's an original article that I wrote for her that is based on my own personal experiences.

Press Releases - The Fantastic Product Co & Solar Events


https://www.prbuzz.com/lifestyle/230079-the-fantastic-product-cos-ice-sphere-molds-continue-to-rack-up-5-star-reviews.html
http://www.bowheadpress.com/art-gisers-2-day-workshop-in-london-sold-out-3-weeks-in-advance/In 2014, a client was launched a new product - Ice Spheres, refillable silicone ice molds which produce large spherical pieces of ice.  The idea of the product is to use these slow melting spheres for hard liquors like whiskey or bourbon and in mixed drinks as well. 

To help this client with the launch, I did a whole lot of press releases.  I also did a good number of press releases for his other business, Solar Events

I don't know how many people actually read them, but it gave me a lot of experience with a new type of writing.  Here are two samples of the press releases I wrote.  Click the photos to read more.
