OUR WHOLE CREW
Is Ready To Work For You

Lin Stone is the Perfect Assistant Author and Collaborator.  In the bargain you'll gain a Touch Up Specialist able to proof and improve your sales literature and publicity releases.  He can help you straighten out narrative, turn mere words into powerful quotes and rearrange your faulty story lines quickly.  He is best known for his rock-solid grasp of impertinent permutations.

Here are samples of his feature writing Skills, one written for a new cancer hospital and one on finding the papers of Josh Lee, U.S. Senator.

"When you strive for greatness and all the writing courses in the world don't seem to help, you will find that having a professional collaborator at your side can turn all the fuzzy preaching into writing that is smooth as silk and right as rain."

Writing courses are great for most people, but there are others that can learn how to write in no other way than having a kindly instructor leaning over their shoulder, helping to get the right words pointed in the right direction as they write.  "A few hours of personal help can be better than many years of almost hopeless struggle.  Suddenly it becomes easy to see what needs rearranging and how to make your words sizzle on the page, sharper than a two-edged sword."

Can Lin help you improve YOUR writing?  Probably.

Hi Lin:  Yes.  I do want a FREE 150 word ONCE OVER of specific suggestions to improve my writing. 

My name is   

 My REAL email address is:             

Here is some of my writing:

Please let me know what you think.

   

Thank you.  I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Lin has retained all his talents of a skilled interviewer -- He can get your project straight in person, by phone, and over the web.  In the past he has interviewed Nancy Friedman, the Phone Doctor® and that world ace sales trainer Stephan R. Schiffman. He has also been on the other end of the stick and been personally interviewed on radio by talk show hosts over 70 times, not to mention good old Maggie Wood herself.   You know, his writing style kind of rubs off on you, doesn't it?

Company brochures can be polished, noodled instructions can be deciphered. Travel writing is one of his favorite pastimes. Shoddy work cost more to repair, but anything that includes gross profanity will not be accepted at any price.  Samples are available while satisfaction is always guaranteed.

His approach is seldom innovative, but always warm and personal.  His own approach to writing style is kind of like what we'd hear from that favorite Uncle Bill we love to go visit on a Sunday afternoon.  There's just kind of a buzz to what he writes that makes it true, and important.

Buy Land Book CoverForty-five books by Lin have been published and all are still selling.  More than 150 of Lin's feature stories have been accepted by national publications.  His favorite story:  SADDLE YOUR OWN HORSE, was published in Cowboy Magazine.

Lin also invented the reverse answer quiz control.

He has rewritten numerous instruction manuals and edited four company cookbooks. 

One of his many publicity release projects got the young artist Danny Ridling interviewed on state-wide television five days in a row.  Shortly thereafter Ms. Hillary Rodham Clinton BOUGHT two of Danny's paintings.  (Ms. Clinton has indeed received hundreds of paintings as gifts.  As far as we know, these are the only two she ever bought while living in the Arkansas Governor's Mansion.)

"Hey," Lin grins.  "Who can resist a 6'4" freckle-faced artist slinging paint like Gary Cooper from a High Noon setting in the middle of Little Rock's own Main Street?"

"Well, that's nice, but what can Lin do for ME?" you might ask.  Let me give you a list:

  • Coordinate your business with the right web design/hosting services
  • Set you up to monitor your web site in Real Time so you will know instantly who is visiting, where they are coming from and what they are looking for
  • Correlate new content with your site so traffic builds automatically for THOSE customers
  • Perform customer service for you right off your pages
  • Perform Internet and other traditional research to find the right partners for your web site
  • Produce newsletter templates to keep in contact with your customer base
  • Get those meta tags lined up so the Search Engines gladly keep you high on their lists
  • Produce NEWS releases for the web or conventional media
  • Place Advertising where it will do you the most good, a whole lot faster

Many of Lin's articles and essays are available for reprint.

Credits.. As a full time freelance writer my business articles have appeared in many Bureau of Business Practice publications. My writing and/or photographs have also been published in Farm Pond Harvest, Life in the Times, Party & Paper, American Salesman, Today's Pawnbroker, Opportunity, Good Reading, Farm Store, Crappie Fisherman, Little Rock Free Press, Arkansas Women's Journal, Fennetration, etc.

I have had over 400 articles published nationally.
20 years ago I set myself the goal of writing a feature story about someone in every major corporation in Little Rock, and did so, some 2 and 3 times.
One story I wrote about a window manufacturer continued to pull in orders for the company over a 3 year period that I am aware of.
My first essay was sent to every unit commander in the Armed Forces around the world.
My second essay won acclaim from the Arkansas Democrat.
My first web site story was praised by Reader's Digest editors and earned a prestigious Editor's Choice award.
3 and 2 years ago my web site was awarded "one of the top 100 web sites for writers awards" by Writer's Digest.
My first book was still selling 9 years after being published.
Many of my stories on the web today out pull the company's web sites.
My first feature story on the Turpentine Creek Tiger Preserve remained in place for over 8 years.
My last feature story was published on http://www.talewins.com/cancer/protoncancertherapy.htm  -- then on 19 other web sites that I know of, and presented as publicity releases to various newspapers and magazines nationally, but with unknown results as the invitation was to contact the company, not me.
Just one of my current web sites has over 5,000 pages and I wrote about 70% of them. Note that "Lin Stone" is my pen name; I am Lin Stone, and this is the name I usually publish under.
I hope these facts kind of reassure you that your time with me will not be wasted.
The top 3 subjects I write about are sales, safety, and innovation although virtually any subject can be covered.
My manner of work generally runs along these lines..
1 You decide on a subject
2 At your convenience, I come in for a 30 or 40 minute interview with yourself or someone in charge of that portion of your business. It may take a little longer if pictures are wanted.
3 I write the story, usually from 600 to 3,000 words.
4 You add, change or delete any portion of the story. You can also reject the entire story, like if you discover I have acquired too much proprietary information.

While I don't pay anyone to do an interview, you are free to use the story yourself in any way you want to as I usually don't bother to contact local publishers.
My phone number is 405-872-5556

Productivity begins by recognizing and valuing your brilliance, time, and space. It starts with awareness of what works and what does not. It continues with examining what needs grease, or other needs. Search for the truth for what you need in order to rev up your writing.
