philosophy
People are naturally creative and everyone has something of value to give in the pursuit of a better world. Some people write. Some draw. Others sing and dance. Creative expression is as varied as humanity. Beautiful.
My primary professional influences are Dick Hodgson (The Greatest Direct Mail Sales Letters of All Time) and Herschell Gordon Lewis (On the Art of Writing Copy). You can view my professional profile here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmoleary/
Since stepping back from full-time commercial writing in 2022, my creative energies have gone primarily into music and film. I am currently working on a screenplay for a historical drama (limited series). You can hear a few of my compositions under the “News” tab.
Writing Coach
Not everyone needs a ghost writer. Some need encouragement and a sensitive editor. Don’t be afraid to ask for my help if you have the itch to WIY (write it yourself).
guiding principle
In all things I strive to follow the Golden Rule.
