You're here because you have a project that needs to be written. It might be an "about" page for your website (or every page on your website with or without SEO keywords), a sales letter, a grant, an article for a newsletter, a press release, a bio or an essay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe you just need help with your grocery list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to help you. And when I offer to help, this is what you get:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A trained journalist educated at one of the west coast's toughest journalism programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A self-starting, experienced marketer who understands how words reflect your personal brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A gifted prose stylist who can adjust the flavor of a piece of writing to suit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A grammar nut who can spot a misplaced comma at 50 yards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tenacious researcher and gifted interviewer who finds the answer to the question every time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dedicated, professional service provider who does things on time and within budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this is what you don't get:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone who leverages their decades of "experience" writing toothpick box labels to charge ridiculous rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone who does the minimum required of them because they're too busy to care about your project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone without the drive and intellectual curiosity to stay current.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it, folks. I'm here to help, and I'll go the extra mile to deliver a fabulous product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In every case where it is possible, I will ask for a defined project rate for any assignment I accept.  When a client’s need is open-ended, I’m happy to work for an agreed-upon hourly rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you'd like my help, I'd love to learn about your project. Please email me at:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jonitkincopywriting@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks very much,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jon&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1131417237853956814-2088348930547215084?l=jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com/feeds/2088348930547215084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1131417237853956814&amp;postID=2088348930547215084' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1131417237853956814/posts/default/2088348930547215084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1131417237853956814/posts/default/2088348930547215084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com/2008/06/work-samples.html' title='The English Language is my Playground'/><author><name>Jon Itkin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409693706162200105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131417237853956814.post-1814259634014093875</id><published>2008-06-04T12:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-02T05:23:20.937-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Work Samples/Client List</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;For a few work samples, please visit my portfolio &lt;a href="http://jonitkin.carbonmade.com/"&gt;by clicking here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partial Client List&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friends School of Baltimore&lt;br /&gt;SUNY Purchase&lt;br /&gt;Motivated Design, custom manufacturing, FL.&lt;br /&gt;Agency Access, email marketing firm&lt;br /&gt;MDCOM, telcommunications firm, Taunton MA.&lt;br /&gt;RJ Young, office products dealer, Nashville TN.&lt;br /&gt;Prime Manhattan Realty, real estate broker, New York NY.&lt;br /&gt;Joel Goldberg, marketing consultant, Buffalo NY&lt;br /&gt;Little People's Toys, Bermuda.  &lt;br /&gt;Carol Scott, Stress Relief Coach, Atlanta, GA.  &lt;br /&gt;EDGE Gym, New York NY. &lt;br /&gt;America SCORES, non-profit organization, New York NY&lt;br /&gt;Inner Splendor Media, CD Label, New York NY&lt;br /&gt;Lisa Simonsen, top-25 real estate broker, New York NY.   &lt;br /&gt;Parkview Printing, print brokerage, New York NY&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Partial Partners List (companies I collaborate with)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cognitive Marketing, higher education branding/marketing, Rochester, NY.&lt;br /&gt;Obscura Pictures, video production company, Brooklyn, NY.&lt;br /&gt;StructuredWEB, online marketing firm, Seacaucus NJ.&lt;br /&gt;Pyromedia Studios, design firm, Redlands, CA.&lt;br /&gt;Advice Creative Group, web design, Miami, FL.&lt;br /&gt;Badass Builders, web design/advertising firm, Rochester, NY.  &lt;br /&gt;Maven Concepts, web design/advertising firm, Grand Terrace, CA.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1131417237853956814-1814259634014093875?l=jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com/feeds/1814259634014093875/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1131417237853956814&amp;postID=1814259634014093875' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1131417237853956814/posts/default/1814259634014093875'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1131417237853956814/posts/default/1814259634014093875'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jonitkinwordsmith.blogspot.com/2008/06/english-language-is-my-playground.html' title='Work Samples/Client List'/><author><name>Jon Itkin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06409693706162200105</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
