Writing Samples

Back in the mid- to late-’90s I did some writing about the internet, online marketing, web development, and e-commerce.

Please Note: These articles are all quite old. While it is interesting how well some of the core ideas have held up, many of the implementation details have changed, so consume this information with care.

workz.com Articles

While at workz.com I wrote a number of articles on online marketing, e-commerce, and web design and development for workz.com and its syndication and business partners (Inc.com, bCentral, Lycos, SmartAge, etc.), including several articles on search engine marketing. These articles were written several years ago, so they are now extremely dated.

Other Writing

During my publishing and internet careers, I have also written countless business plans, research reports, proposals, RFPs, functional specifications, software systems documentation, policy and procedures manuals, print and-mail newsletters, marketing brochures, sales-promotion tools, and many other documents.

I have a degree in magazine journalism (with an English minor) and have studied writing, journalism, and publishing at the Radcliffe Publishing Course, Pace University, New York University, and San Francisco State University.
