"What makes you think a writer isn't a salesman?" —Kurt Vonnegut

Hi, I’m John, and I love words.

Most of us take language so much for granted that we forget how revolutionary it is. Think about it: your ineffable thoughts become eloquent ideas, transmittable to anyone with the same cipher. Merely communicating your displeasure with the weather or desire for french fries with your burger is a blithe obliteration of the concept of solipsism. Your thoughts become someone else’s thoughts, the old generation’s knowledge becomes the next generation’s. Without language, we wouldn’t just lose our high-minded concepts of art and philosophy, we’d lose everything that separates us from every other living thing on this planet. Language builds skyscrapers. Language cures diseases. Language puts men on the Moon.

How you communicate your ideas is perhaps more important than their validity. Just look at the news. In this age of outrage — when one poorly chosen word can sink a storied career — talented wordsmiths are the protectors of a brand’s identity. You need a writer who knows your history and goals as if they were his own, who sees the inherent symbolism in your story that colors all of our stories and translates it into language accessible to all. Whether you need evergreen content for an otherwise hidden landing page or a pithy headline worthy of a Times Square billboard, I will help you achieve your company’s objectives with simple, effective language and my unique, personable voice.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 reads, “There is nothing new under the sun,” and there is a reason for that: What works, works; and what doesn’t, doesn’t. But while it may be impossible to be truly original, it is imperative that one be distinct. And if there are over ten duodecillion possible chess games (roughly equivalent to the number of stars in the observable universe—squared), then there is a way to spread your message that is both universally familiar and uniquely yours.

Let’s find your words.
