I have crafted recent in-depth profiles on furniture mogul Mitchell Gold, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, Conan O'Brien trombonist "LaBamba" and Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz.

Recent clients include Luxury Living, New Jersey Life, Arnold Palmer's Kingdom Magazine, Classic Style, The Affluent Page, GolfStyles, North Carolina Magazine and Where Georgia.

With Fortune 250 corporate communications experience, business slants are in my repertoire, including application profiles and employee communications. I was an integral member on an intranet team that won Ragan Communications' national "Best Intranet Site" award.

Please contact me if you are seeking professional work on professional assignments. I am a former newspaperman with a master's degree in communications and a bachelor's degree in journalism. I have won top awards from press associations for feature and column writing.

My favored specialties include personality profiles, travel destinations, real-estate features, columns, essays and golf-related articles. I have written golf course and resort reviews from Maine to Florida, including a feature on the golf course country singer Kenny Rogers personally built in his own backyard.

If requested, I can write a creative and polished piece about a pair of discarded old shoes. (I am versatile on general assignments and prefer interesting topics and challenges.)

References from satisfied editors are available on request. Deadlines are met without fail.

I have extensive experience working on corporate intranets and with Web and streaming media tools. Visit my Web site at www.patrickjones.com.

I work on a per word rate on magazine pieces. Recent assignments have paid up to $1.50 per word, with 50 cents to $1 per word the standard. If work is slow on my end, I will consider assignments on the tighter budgets.
