I don't mean to brag, but that sign in the photo behind me and my wife, "Closed Saturdays"? Yeh, I wrote that. I also did all the guerrilla marketing work for a cafe I opened in the Mojave desert. It generated press from the NY Times, BBC1, AP, Industry Standard, Wired, and others, but my favorite write-up was the newspaper that called us "The only leftist coffee bar in the world with a military discount." And while I'd like to think all my employers' write-ups about me are true, that I'm a pleasure to work with, the calm one in the room during a crisis, supplying mission critical content under intense pressure... that's really what my character would play in the movie. Me IRL? Just a hardworking writer who's charmed some really talented and successful people into believing I write as well as I'd like to. Like this guy: "Jeremy writes what I want, when even I don't know what I want." - 3-time Tony winner, Hinton Battle Maybe. All I know is I fight for keeping the laugh or touching line in a campaign when I feel in my bones it is important to the story, or that the public will love it. Or, as Hinton has written: "Jeremy is the one guy in a meeting who will tell me 'THAT F*&KING SUCKS!' Then he'll tell me why. Then he'll tell me how to fix it." But then sometimes a good line or idea gets killed, and that's when I'm glad I have no ego at all about the work. It doesn't matter whether the copy is for a pharma, legal, tech, or a showbiz star--if it's for a good cause or show, I just like to write. If you'd like to discuss interviews, columns, long form, slice of life, touching and humorous pieces, please send a note. Thanks for reading, J
