Hi-

I understand that your magazine is looking for freelancers to handle assigned articles, and I'd like to be considered. My work has appeared in dozens of publications, including National Lampoon, Hustler, Oui, nerve.com, and The Onion A.V. Club, and I've also served as a marketing copywriter for both large and small firms. I've pasted a sample below; I'm assuming that this is a trade/buyer to buyer magazine, so the included clip is from a similar genre. Please take a look and get back to me if this interests you.

Thanks,

Barrett Brown

Go Go Gadget Retailer!


Nothing sets the summer heart aflutter like that perfectly stylish, ever-so-necessary electronics accessory – and that goes double if you're the one selling it. But with fashionable designers increasingly jumping into a product genre that not so long ago was dominated by geek chic, as opposed to chic chic, retailers are facing a similar increase in mind-boggling stocking decisions – and that goes double for those whose fashion sense may have frozen in time in 1986. Never fret; we'll bring you up to speed on the things everyone needs.



The girl-friendly gadget community is all abuzz about the Lexie Barnes 2007 Echo line of laptop carriers – not so much due to the water-resistant fabric and extra pockets perfect for power cords and old-fashioned reading material; rather, it's the neo-retro (yeah, you heard us) design scheme that has everyone excited.

Well, it's finally happened - someone's gone and blinged out the mouse. The culprit in this case is British design firm The Crystal Chick, whose 2007 lineup includes a three-button optical laptop mini-mouse that's encrusted with swarovski crystals and available in clear, topaz, rose, and sapphire color schemes. Will wonders never cease?

For those whose tastes don't quite run to the jewel-encrusted, Otterbox is set to release a decidedly utilitarian see-through Blackberry case that allows for total functionality while protecting the device from liquid, dust, crushings, and other hazards of the modern workplace. It's a must-have for today's busy klutz-on-the-go.

Billing its product line as being "For People Who Hate Wallets," Jimi seeks to serve as savior to portable game enthusiasts with its Jimi Game Shell, a shockproof, liquid-resistant polypropylene case that keeps Nintendo DS and PSP game cards safe from the elements (not to mention their owners).
