semi-OT: copywriters in the house?

[Kirk Pacenti]

Below is a cross-post from the vendor forum:

My new web (http://pacenticycledesign.com/) site is now live. I still need to add a lot of product copy and technical specs, but otherwise it's fully functional. If you like what you see please let me know and take a moment to 'like (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pacenti-Cycle-Design/393898233962299)' on facebook. If you would like to make any comments or suggestions on how the site can be improved, please don't hesitate to contact me. Also, if there are any copywriters in the house, I might like to speak with you about helping craft some of the product descriptions.

Cheers,
KP

Hi Kirk - I'm not a copy writer, but I am a professional technical writer. I specialize in health and science information, but I've got a lot of bike experience under my belt. Feel free to message me to talk further.

Kirk, can I suggest a bike "industry" guy who might be interested?

Patrick O'Grady. (http://maddogmedia.wordpress.com/)

From Patrick's web site: "Patrick O'Grady is a cartoonist, columnist, cyclist and curmudgeon who sells words and pictures to Bicycle Retailer and Industry News, Adventure Cyclist and pretty much anyone else who can spell his name correctly next to the phrase which sounds so musical to his tattered ears: "Pay to the order of. ..."

Sounds like your guy!

I think I'm your man. Here's a sample:

So, most of you let the big companies convince you that a 29'er is the right bike for the twisty, technical, singletrack with the short, steep climbs which comprise most of your home trails... SUCKERS!!!
Isn't it kinda strange how you've been riding those trails for over 20 years on a 26" bike and having a great time? Didn't you learn your lesson a few years back when the bike magazines told you that you weren't serious unless you got that heavy, full-suspension bike? Well finally here is something that makes sense... 650b.

-and so on, touting the advantages of 650b while being sure to further insult and alienate the east coast 29'er lemmings riding around on oversized bikes and plowing into and over things without any grace or technique, while all the time talking about how transformative it has been for them and how they'll never give up 29'ers... until Trekializedgiandale tells them otherwise.

On a serious note, nice job on getting the site up and continuing to innovate and create products that make sense.

PM sent, though I figure you're overwhelmed with choice at this point.
