YOUnique poetry and prose
by your Personal Ghostwriter

speeches, toasts, roasts, invitations, vows, cards & more
for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements, showers, etc.

You might be wondering, "what, exactly, is a personal ghostwriter?"

By definition, a ghostwriter is a person who puts the thoughts and feelings of another into words, and gives them the credit of authorship. A PERSONAL ghostwriter, however, needs far more than just a penchant for words. To truly understand the private thoughts of another, and relate to their deepest feelings, requires specially refined sensitivities. So, it could be said that a personal ghostwriter must possess not only verbal skills, but also a telepathic mind, and an empathetic heart. You may also be wondering, "what can a personal ghostwriter do for me?" So, ask yourself: Have you ever been moved by words? REALLY moved? Where were those words, what was the occasion, and what was so YOUniquely special about those words, that reached your very soul? They were just words, after all. But they irresistibly inspired your heart to sing in harmony with their sentiment.

We've all been moved that way, at sometime in our lives. And we all wondered the same things. Who wrote that? And where might I find such personalized expression?

I'm Robert Block; I believe everyone should have the right words to express their deepest thoughts and feelings. Even those who don't have a way with words, themselves. May I help your heart find verbal wings, upon which to soar?

What forms would your expressions take
If words were yours alone to shape?
A moving speech? A comic roast?
Or maybe just a poignant toast?
A document which begs a frame?
A plaque upon a wall, engraved?
How would you shape the words you'd send
To touch the hearts of your intent?

Sentence form might simply state
Precisely what you have to say.
Poetic, you may wax and rhyme,
In verse to stand the test of time.
The options, they abound with choice
Of how to give your feelings voice.

Perhaps a sonnet, like the preceding, is to your taste.....or maybe not. With a personal ghostwriter behind you, you'll ALWAYS have just the right expression. No more wasted days spent browsing card shops and catalogs. No more endless, frustrating hours spent staring at a blank page. You'll have the words. And your words won't only sing, they'll sing your PERSONAL tune.

Your thoughts and feelings are YOUnique. They're yours, and yours alone. Why settle for some generic expression of another's canned sentiment? When the occasion is important, and the recipient matters, so does your message. Make it meaningful. And make it your own.

So you never worked with a writer? You're wondering what's involved? No problem. A simple questionnaire will provide me the information I need to get started. Who the piece is for, and the occasion. What YOU want to say, and how to say it.

What's next? I'll furnish you a draft, by the agreed date. If revisions are needed, there's no additional charge. And, your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you don't like my work, don't accept it, and don't pay for it. It's just that easy. Honestly.

Now, it's finally possible to have your own YOUnique messages custom crafted . So, when it matters most to TRULY express yourself, you'll have the means. And the choice.

Thanks, sincerely, for your time and attention,

Bob

Business philosophy

 

The foundation of Robert Block Wordcraft and Copywriting is the applied understanding that business is built on relationships. This common sense ethic permeates all business practices. From initial contact and proposal, through post-invoice follow up, client satisfaction remains the primary focus. In every sense, relationships are my business.

In professional practice, and personal belief, I support the entrepreneurial spirit of small business. And the people who take on the challenge. These are the origins, and future, of the American dream.

Many of us, in business today, have shared this advice with aspiring entrepreneurs. "Build your business on what you know and love." It's great advice. As I'm here to tell you. I love what I do for a living. I'm living the dream. And that's your assurance of complete dedication to my clients' satisfaction. It's a matter of personal pride. As your business is for you.

Everyone in business knows that satisfaction is also measured in dollars. The dollars that go into your pocket, the dollars that stay in your pocket. To earn that measure of satisfaction, we all apply the same basic business principles. Keep our costs down, and offer our customers value. For their hard earned dollars.

Because my passion is helping small business grow and prosper, I practice the above principle. To the max. By working at home, alone. All documents are created and printed on my own PC. No rent, no employees, no outsourcing. So clients pay only for my time. At reasonable, affordable rates. For small businesses, and individuals.

Confidentiality

Your business is your business. And I take your confidence very seriously. As evidence, please note that you see no "client list", anywhere. I consider this my "discretionary responsibility". And it's the right policy for today's ruthlessly competitive world.

To write effective copy for you, that sells your product or service, I'll need to know and understand it. Thoroughly. And your competition. That's a reasonable working definition of "full confidence". That confidence must be respected. And it will be.

My policy is to never discuss clients, or their businesses. With anyone. Period. For your protection. Thanks for your understanding and appreciation.

Guarantee

 

Simply stated: If you aren't happy with the copy I produce for you, don't accept it, and don't pay.

Along with the initial draft(s), clients will receive the invoice, including an approval/rejection form. If the draft is approved, work will proceed, and necessary revisions will be made, at no additional charge. However, if the work's not satisfactory, simply reject and return it.

If you find this unusual, in today's "buyer beware" environment, I'll gladly explain. Referrals, from satisfied clients, provide a large segment of my business. As you see, under confidentiality, I'll never discuss your business with anyone. But, I'd greatly appreciate your talking about my business.
100% of my clients are satisfied. This guarantee is my insurance policy.
