Who gets the call when you need clear, simple words that work?

Chances are, you’d want someone with experience as a newspaper copy editor and sportswriter.

Copy editing skills help you cut through the bloat, the jargon, and the hot air to get to the nut of your message.

Good sportswriters write with energy and focus without leaning on cliches or forced life-or-death narratives.

Ultimately, you’ll want a writer who generates lean but informative copy that’s fun to read. That’s a great foundation for any writing career. In marketing and business writing, it’s pure gold.

If you’re still reading, you now know a guy like that. My name is Greg Reid, and I live with my family in Portland, Maine. I’m anti-collared shirts, and I just can’t see myself sitting for a formal photo.

When I’m not scribbling madly, you can find me hiking the coastline, wrestling with my boxer, Dempsey, or learning something new from my too-deep library of online courses.
