Literary Cauldron

Sometimes, you go on vacation and wish to stay forever. With several million dollars to back up that wish, Sea Island Properties makes it possible.

With The Designory in Long Beach, I worked with UX and the AD to write copy for this rather large resort Web site. And later, followed up with a site for the Island's properties.

With the Strausberg Group in Los Angeles, I worked on a second Marriott-owned boutique hotel in New Orleans. This property was ideally situated a block off Bourbon Street — so this site featured a younger voice, music and animated sequences.

This was the first of two Marriott-property Web sites I worked on with the Strausberg Group in LA. (Soon thereafter, Katrina arrived.) This boutique hotel was particularly well located for tourists seeking the New Orleans arts / museum vibe.

One of a handful of hotel-writing projects from 2005. Here, I invited people to experience the fabulousness (not my word) of The Belamar Hotel in Los Angeles.

I freelanced with Sargent & Berman for several years as a dedicated writer for Princess Cruises. And by dedicated, I mean writing nearly every destination brochure, direct mailer and quarterly magazine released by the cruise giant between 2001 and 2004. A sampling of PDFs below. Captain's Circle Magazine, Winter 2002 Issue (PDF) P&O, 2003 World Cruises Brochure (PDF) Princess Cruises, 2003 Discovery Inside (Welcome Aboard Brochure) (PDF)
