M3 is alive!

This is one of those websites that calls for a more sober style of writing, unlike, say, some of the PETA projects I worked on years ago. The former, generally speaking, is more difficult to pull off than what’s typically known as “creative writing.”

Once again, I worked with the design and dev wizards at Planet Propaganda to bring this project to life. Congratulations to Planet and M3 on the launch!

“You did a super job making the copy read as though it was a seamless extension of our company. Your writing style stayed very true to our business, which isn’t an easy task!”

Here’s a sneak peek at a new project I worked on (SEO for Plonk and copywriting for Stoffa). Can’t wait to see the site launch next week!

Designing with Web Standards

I just wrapped up my latest book proofreading project, Jeffrey Zeldman’s Designing with Web Standards, 3rd Edition. For those of you who don’t know, Zeldman cofounded the Web Standards Project and is a leading voice in web design and usability. I found out that he’s also irreverent, self-deprecating, and the caliber of writer I can only ever aspire to be.

Refocus

Today I crossed the finish line of my latest project: copyediting Refocus: Cutting-Edge Strategies to Evolve Your Video Business by Ron and Tasra Dawson, partners in life and in business (they tell me it’s possible).

I like them because they’re creative, and know that to succeed you’ve got to practice creativity in all facets of business, including your offerings, your brand, and your new media and social networking. Check it out!

Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements 7

I had the honor of copyediting Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere Elements 7 Classroom in a Book Collection by Jan Ozer, author of 14 books on digital video and regular contributor to EventDV and PC Magazine.

Aside from his expert knowledge in all things technical, I like him because he’s a good example of someone who blends their love for their profession with their love for family. His little girls seem to be a part of everything he shoots and writes.
