Thank you for your interested in MSHC Partners. We are
actually looking for someone to work full-time here in our office from June

strictly for freelance work?
Best,

PM To: Careers Subject: Experienced Copywriter with
Political Background - Body Copy Writer Position
Sirs-
I understand that your advertising firm is seeking a
body copy writer to work on projects for Democratic causes through November, and
I'd like to be considered. I'm a writer with both in-house and freelance ad
agency experience, and my other work has appeared in dozens of publications
including progressive policy journals such as Alternet and Toward Freedom as
well as humor magazines like National Lampoon, The Onion, and
McSweeney's. My first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism,
Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released last March to praise
from Alan Dershowitz, Cenk Uygur of Air America Radio, The Huffington
Post, Skeptic, and other sources. Most recently, I served as chief
blogger of Politicalbase.com, CNET's recently-launched political media
portal.
I generally work for $20/hour.
As for pertinent samples,
I've pasted a few links below to some blog posts I wrote for another start-up
and cross-posted on Daily Kos. I've also attached my resume in Word format.
Please take a look and let me know if you'd like to discuss this
further.
