"I'm writing with a strong and enthusiastic recommendation for Mike Poteet. Mike wrote manuscripts for two of our projects during the past year. Mike's manuscripts were creative, well-organized, and impeccably written. Mike is great on deadlines and at following directions, but he goes beyond directions to recommend additional features to improve the piece."--Ron Kidd, Senior Editor, Abingdon Press_____Writing is the only alchemy that works. Writers pour life’s raw materials into the crucible of language. When we do it skillfully enough, we're left with words that make the right difference at the right time: words that motivate, educate, and inspire.I've been practicing this alchemy for over a decade, in full-time and freelance settings.I've written specialized sales copy that tells the stories behind rare books... educational articles and lesson plans linking current events and pop culture to what concerns youth and adults... in-depth study guides for classic literature... blog posts connecting fantasy and faith... even two professionally published short stories.If you're looking for someone to help you find the right words to make the right difference, I look forward to talking with you!
