John Lucas Email & Phone Number

Ask any group of kids in Grade 3 or 4 what they want to be when they grow up, and you'll hear the same answers over and over again. Doctor. Astronaut. Veterinarian. TikTok star. (It's 2024, after all.) At that age, I already had my final answer: I wanted to be a writer. It's possible that I was a huge nerd—and it's equally likely that I still am—but there was something about the idea of working with words that compelled me. Words, I realized even then, have the power to move people and to mystify them, to empower them and to inspire them.My love of a good story drove me toward journalism, and my passion for helping others tell theirs led me many other places, from editing to copywriting to digital marketing.I have done a lot of different things over the course of my life and professional career. I have interviewed Oscar and Grammy winners and written cover stories for glossy newsstand magazines. I have played guitar in a rock band on national TV and run an independent music label for which I wrote all of the PR and marketing materials. I have provided web copy and proofreading services for a variety of clients. In my spare time, I sweated out a novel about a world where raccoons are kings and dragons are real. That’s my story. What’s yours?
