Let me introduce myself: my name is Jack Ewing.
I’m a guy who’s written and published more than 100
million words.
Chances are, you’ve never heard of me.
The reason why is that I’ve most often maintained a
low-key, behind-the-scenes profile. It’s not because I’m modest. I’ve
just been too busy to do a lot of self-promotion the past 40-odd years.
From the
early 1960s, I’ve let my writing do the talking for me.
My words have spoken loud and clear, in the form of short stories and
novels, nonfiction books and bylined articles, reference entries and
essays.
Since 1970, my specialty has been advertising, marketing and public
relations. I’ve conceived and written TV and radio ads, video and film
scripts, brochures and pocket folders, billboards and posters, Web
content, press kits, direct mail, packaging, and virtually any other
type of communications you can think of.
I’ve entertained, informed, stimulated and persuaded a wide range of
people from children to senior citizens, and from blue-collar workers to
rocket scientists.
My words have helped advertising clients make millions of dollars.
I’ve quietly garnered numerous awards for my work.
I’ve won dedicated fans (even if they don’t always remember my name or
recognize me on the street).
Despite everything, I’m still Mr. Anonymous.
Well, not any more.
Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I’m stepping out of the shadows
for a change, with my first web site.
Please feel free to wander around at your leisure. Learn something about
me, remember it, and pass it on. (And if you need help with a writing
project, for goodness’ sake, get in touch with me.)
Then at
least, when somebody says, “You don’t know Jack,” you can fire back,
“Actually, I do know Jack. Jack Ewing.”
