The Gulf Shore Writer is J. Michael (Mike) Smith who happens to work and live in close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico in the Tampa Bay area and he loves it. Let him tell you. NO, NO, stop! I moved to Atlanta in January of 2010 and I really miss the beach. I love Atlanta but there's no palm trees outside and sandy beaches and Gulf of Mexico...

I'm Mike Smith and I'm a writer. Why do you care? I write well. I write on a lot of different topics. I know something about a lot of topics. I'm a good researcher and I'm fast at it. I write as plainly as possible to convey ideas and understanding. I'm easy to get along with. I do dare to end sentences with a preposition. I meet deadlines. I have reasonable rates. All of this combined puts me in a relatively unusual category (especially the "easy to get along with" part).

I have a business and high tech background. I've owned roofing companies, cigar shops, software development companies, and writing groups, among others. I've started businesses and worked for small and large ones as employee and consultant, though rarely at the same time. For many details, click the resume button above or the LinkedIn button for a different view.

If I write about your business, I'll know what you do and why, if at all possible. It's the result of a natural curiosity and a belief that it helps to improve the writing and the relevance. I don't mind being edited or making revisions at a reasonable level. Opinions vary but the client is paying the bills. I offer my best advice and then give you what you're paying for.

I treat you fairly and with respect and you return the favor. Life is good. Write me. Call me. Ask a question. Send a check. See? I also have a sense of humor. No extra charge.

One of the hottest items we're seeing now is doing ghost writing for eBooks and print. It's a major credibility builder for you to have your own book. Many people have the knowledge but don't have the time, writing skills or inclination to write their own book. It's a lot of work and takes a lot of time. See the special section under Services about how ghost writing works and we can reduce your time involvement and work substantially.
