Whimsically Clean: Thousand Words Press Needs a Logo and Biz Card

Thousand Words Press

Words. Stories. Influence.

Thousand Words Press is the publishing company I founded to produce my children's book, Nowhere Hair (it explains an adult's cancer and hair loss from chemo to kids). Yes, a heavy topic, but the work is honest and real yet whimsical and has a rad looking bald woman. Kind of sums me up, I guess.

Thousand Words Press was a play on my original tagline/mantra for my copywriting company, which was "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes words to say that."

I need a logo and biz card that broadens TWP from a publishing company to fold in my copywriting business. I'm a hired gun for graphic design firms who need a creative writer, and I also pitch my services directly to companies looking for communications help.

Totally open.

I've been a copywriter of marketing materials/websites/annual reports/ads for 20 years, and want to convey a solid, creative, slightly whimsical attitude.

People who hire me a second time say that they know the work will be done, on time, on budget, and done well, and that we'll have a good time as we do it. I smile a lot. I like to laugh, too.

I mean, it's marketing. We're not curing cancer.

Of which I know something, since I had it at 33, and I understand that life is short and should be enjoyed.

Check out http://www.NowhereHair.com and you'll know more than you want to know about me. I made the video myself, and you can get a real sense of my style.

I like clean, but powerful design. That doesn't mean it must be masculine. Drama works well when it is honestly done, but just because my name is Thousand Words doesn't mean I want a literal translation of this concept.

And please, no pens or keyboards or typewriters.

I'm a writer, but more than that, I am a communicator. I try real hard to stir something inside of people when they read my work.
