Sir or Madam-
I understand that your company is looking to hire a blogger with strong
communication skills and a background in politics and policy, and I'd like
to be considered. I'm a full-time freelancer whose work has appeared in
dozens of publications ranging from humor mags like National Lampoon,
McSweeney's, and The Onion A.V. Club to political and public policy journals
such as Evote.com, Toward Freedom, and American Atheist . My first book,
Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the
Easter Bunny, was released last March to praise from Harvard Law School
professor Alan Dershowitz, Rolling Stone, Skeptic, Air America Radio, and
The Huffington Post , among other sources. I've also served as a marketing
copywriter for several ad firms as well as for my own clients.
A fuller account of my background may be found in the resume pasted below.
Please take a look and let me know if you'd be interested in discussing this
further.
Thanks,
Barrett Brown
