jcbwrites.com Professional Writing and Business Copywriting Services Ads • Brochures • Flyers • DR Pieces • Articles • Websites My Portfolio      Over the years I have been involved in many startup companies, doing the organization, documentation and marketing. From my early US Navy days writing functional specifications and contracts I moved into user manuals for the early computer systems, direct mail, data based direct response and corporate image pieces. More recently I have written copy for Internet based sales websites, business advertisements and catalogs.      My style is direct, simple, easy to understand and written to format. I get the message across by holding the reader's hand and directing him or her into the process of buying, either a product or an idea, as quickly as possible.
