I have an MFA in creative writing and have written academic papers and, of course, a successful master's thesis. I will be able to complete a 500 word assignment (depending upon subject matter) within three hours. If the topic is theoretical physics or football, it might take me longer.
I also have over five years experience as a staff writer at a marketing and branding agency. I've created themes, theme graphics, slogans, and wrote copy for proposal documents, white papers, cases studies, e-mail blasts, video scripts, theatrical vignettes and brand-specific song lyrics for live sales meetings and recognition events. My writing efforts assisted in over a dozen successful product launches and corporate meetings for companies and organizations such as Pfizer, Deloitte, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ortho Biotech, the UJA Federation, American Express, and GlaxoSmithKline.
