RE: Bid for Freelance Article—
Greetings:
I would like to quickly make a bid for your project. Here are two writing samples I created, one for a mall and one for a formal wear online store.
SAMPLE: 250 words. Keywords – family, kid
“When you visit Gwinnett County with your kids, don’t forget to visit Discover Mills! Conveniently located by I-85 and Sugarloaf Parkway, Discover Mills is the perfect place for a family getaway. The entire mall is geared to family recreation, and the outlets here are some of the largest in the Southeastern US. The ESPN X Games Skatepark skateboarding arena is always filled with teenage daredevils, and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame is based here. In the center of the great walkway, the Medievel Times Dinner and Tournament theatre performs jousting and provides hearty chicken supper every night. The movie theatre always features the latest releases, and while you wait you can enjoy climbing the Spider Tower, followed by a flip or two on the Bungee Jump, just outside the lobby! If you enjoy the great outdoors, a trip to the northern end of the Mall will bring you the the Great Bass Pro Outdoor World, a huge store with everything a family could need for camping and outdoor activities!”
“Another family-friendly outlet at Discover Mills is the arcade/restaurant/bowling alley combo at Jillian’s, a flashy place for older kids and grownups to burn quarters while those in need of a rest enjoy wings and burgers. The food court at Discover Mills is great, and features a heart-warming sight; there is a beautiful merry-go-round in the center of the area. There is a perfectly placed play area for toddlers next to it. The pipes of a real calliope complete the experience!”
SAMPLE, 250 words, Keywords - sophisticated, excellence
"HEWITT AND MAY
They met at university, and they got their first great idea during a banquet they hosted for the Burmese ambassador.
Marvelous work, Hewitt,” May murmured, always the more effusive one. They both surveyed the happy scene from the balcony, resplendent as always in beautifully styled formal wear. They insisted on speaking with their tailor themselves the other afternoon, seeking always to look their sophisticated best.
“Well,” Hewitt answered, lifting a grey eyebrow, “I’ve always said that a thing worth doing should be done with elegance, excellence and grace.”
A light suddenly glinted in May’s brown eyes. “And with colour! With a sophisticated sense of quality and luxury,” he exclaimed, “in what we do and wear!”
“You’re thinking about that certain look of style,” Hewitt grinned.
“Yes, Hewitt! We live in a world of speed. To achieve excellence, we must take time to focus on the details. To balance a sense of excellence and detailed craftsmanship with the functionality demanded by the modern buyer.”
“To balance quality and sophisticated luxury,” Hewitt replied, thoughtfully. “It’s a big job. I suppose it’s time we got to work, then.”
They strode down the balustrade, bade farewell to their guests, and dove into their offices."
I have previously written all-original football biographies for articles for clients in Bengalura, and although I’m new to the field I can also proofread and rewrite very well. I have a special knowledge of theatre, history, archeology and anthropology, and an extremely broad and encyclopedic knowledge of other human endeavors. If you have a need for comic writing, I can be very humorous, too.
I would like to get any quantity or timeliness deadlines you have specified for my planning purposes.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
Yours, Ian L. Fuller
