Can you recommend a writer with personality?

Hi Warriors,

I'm looking for some recommendations on great article writers with lots of personality! Someone witty who can add something more than straight facts in an article.

Most of the writers I've received samples from have a style that is too factual and not very interesting. Ideally I'd like to work with someone who has IM experience and understands how to engage readers and get them to take action.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

TIA,
Jennifer

    Hey, Jennifer!

    Have you explained to the writers the style you are looking for? I know that some clients want very different writing styles, and they will say what they want so I can change the tone of the article/e-book/report.

      Hey Jen, I got TONS of personally...I even do a tap dance on my back
      porch once in a while.

      Unfortunately, I don't ghost write anymore.

      You might want to go beat down the door of somebody like Tiffany Dow
      or Bev Clement.

      I hear they serve chicken on the *barbie* with their articles.


      *That also includes ribs on the Ken*

      Get it? Ribs on the Ken?

      Okay, I gotta go take my medication.

      I have tried explaining it but still haven't found the right person. Not that they are bad writers, just that there is something forced about any attempts at different styles.

      It's just a case of finding the right writer!

      Steve, sounds like you would be perfect Too bad you're not ghost writing anymore. I have seen both Tiffany and Bev around the forum so I'll have to get in touch. Thanks for the tip.

    Talking about Stephen King, for the longest time, I just assumed he was a hack that had found a niche with horror stories. But then I read his non-fiction book "On Writing". Wow, the guy is an excellent writer. The first half was autobiographical and the second half was all the basic point of view (POV), active vs. passive, and don't use adjectives stuff.

    An excellent read for anyone who wants to polish their chops or wants to review the critical fundamentals.
