Hi, my name is Michael Hearing . . . and . . . I am a recovered English major. Now . . . I can write.
I have a BA in English, about half an MA, and minors in Classical Greek and Philosophy. And I used to be inordinately enamored of long paragraphs, long sentences and long Latinate words. But I got over all that – finally.
Did some writing tutoring and teaching, too. Too much, really. (See? I can write a sentence fragment now with the best of them, happily and guilt free.)
But now – now – I’ve learned to write for readers, real people, instead of showing off for an audience of one, me. I’ve finally learned to write for results.
Still, though, I love anything to do with writing and words. Good thing, too. It’s about the only thing I can do well.
Enough of that, then. Here’s the rest . . .
I live on a few acres in northeastern Oklahoma with five dogs, four horses, three cats, and one wife. Here I ply my content writing and copywriting trade and try to work in a little fishing (well, quite a bit, actually) and vegetable gardening when I can. It’s a good place to live, and a great place for grandkids to visit.
I also write some fiction when I’m not reading or fishing or arguing with my wife. I mention this because engaging storytelling is such a huge element of so much business writing.
I was also a freelance copy editor for years (and still do some). And what this means for you is that whatever I write for you will be error free and in as good a shape as it can be.
I’ve been at this for over 22 years. So, again, if you have any content or copy needs, here’s a chance to have a little peace of mind.
