Annie Barbour

Hey! I'm Annie. I recently moved back to Iowa from San Francisco and am very excited to put my roots down in Des Moines for awhile. I have experience in Journalism and Marketing - writing and researching extensively for both. Using my creativity and natural inquiry to write an engaging, useful article makes me thrive. People, a job well done and hosting guests also add to my livelihood. a.b.barbour@gmail.com I (319) 415-2504

Bill Zahren

For more than two decades, I've written everything from newspaper and magazine articles to Web sites, billboards and video scripts. So when you've had enough of flaccid, uninspiring, vanilla copy -- or your copy staff is overrun and overwrought -- give me a call.

Jacqueline Merrifield

I'm a recent graduate from Luther College with a major in English and a Religion minor. I love to read and write my thoughts down. I would spend all my time in a bookstore if I could (as long as there was coffee too). I'm still trying to figure out what I want my ultimate career to be, whether that is an editor, publisher, copy editor-- something in the literary field at least. All I need is experience and the chance to learn!

Jeff Fisher (Copywriter)

Aspiring pro bowler-turned-copywriter with 5 years experience writing B-to-B and B-to-C copy; plus another 7 years of designing and executing marketing and communications strategies. Other people would say I’m inquisitive, dedicated, detail-oriented, customer-focused. I would agree with them.

Joe Winn

Megan Horn

Social media strategist. Writer. Lover of humor. I love words, I love forming words into cohesive thoughts, I love sharing those cohesive thoughts. I enjoy the challenge of conveying a message using the fewest words possible. Headlines are my favorite--short but powerful. I have an innate knack for writing content for social media (including blogs) and finding ways to build networks and engage users. I also delight in writing website content, as I tend to naturally write for SEO/keyword optimization. The entire process of building an effective, optimized website--from sitemap to wireframe to design to content--makes me furiously happy.

Good ideas are what separate expression from depression. Consider my copy like two Zanex, a bottle of whiskey and megaphone.
