An article on the relationship between thoughtful copywriting and UI/UX Design: Can a marketing copywriter also be a User Experience Designer? Spoiler alert – the answer is "yes."

Radio advertising and voice acting. My first love. It's not my only love, but it's where I got started — as a copywriter and producer of radio commercials. Lately I've focused again in this field as a trained, experienced voice actor, and writing authority-building articles on related topics (some rather loosely related) such as telephone messaging, hearing physiology, cognition, acting technique, audio recording technology and much more.

Examples of awkward usability and how to improve it, including forms, microcopy and User Experience design. Some of these solutions are not rocket science. So why do such awkward moments exist? Maybe they just need the focused eye and mind of a UX Thinker.

Thoughts on UX Writing, and examples of my work in various situations. Shouldn't all writing be a great reader experience? As we know, that's not always the case. Yet, in today's environment, it's more important than ever.

I've written articles on a wide range of subjects, including technical and industrial topics, voice-over performance, marketing practices, and running a home-office business. Until recently, these were usually directly about the product or service being marketed. Lately I've been privileged to cover a wide range of topics, confirming my client's position as an authority on all aspects of their industry. Click for a representative list of both kinds.

Copy editing, developmental editing, creation of an editorial calendar, editing of other people's writing and my own — I've done all of that. Here are some examples.

I've been an editor of various types. Basically, there's the Copy Editor (who revises or even rewrites the copy to make it succinct, organized and well-stated) and the Developmental Editor (who considers a manuscript from every angle, returning it to the author with recommendations for improving it and/or areas of exploration). To learn more about editing, click to see What kind of Editor do you need?. Or write me or call 718-577-0005 during New York business hours.

A Story is what you make it. It's what we call hard news. And what we call total fiction. Or it may be solid fact.
By evoking curiosity, identification and emotion, stories bond the reader (or listener/viewer) and even stimulate action. Storytelling is a traditionally technique, yet stories are a profoundly contemporary way to sell.

Once upon a time, I got my degree in Journalism.
I chose Journ rather than Advertising, because it covers virtually everything — a lot like my interests. And what do newspeople call what they write? A "story."
Even the hard-nosed world of Advertising is about stories. This was famously demonstrated by my early hero, David Ogilvy, and in today's socially-focused media. Behind every post, whether intensely thoughtful, heart-wrenching, whimsical or nonsense, there is someone's personal story. And a story is the way to draw readers in ... if it's a good one.
In fact, whether you're writing a press release, package copy, or an article about industrial box-making machinery, it's sure to be more interesting if you find the story and tell it well.
