Lee Doyle, Marketing Consultant and Copywriter

MY BACKGROUND

I came to writing by way of a liberal arts education and a passion for communications. In the late eighties, I graduated San Francisco State University with a Bachelor’s in French (What can I say? I’m a romantic; my parents met and fell in love in Paris.) I went to work as a freelance publicist for a theater production company and temped for Miller Freeman Publishing. I also pounded out stories (in English) for local newspapers and magazines.

In 1989, as a publicist at the San Francisco Art Institute, I wrote newsletter pieces, press releases and pitch letters about the work of painters, filmmakers, sculptors and performance artists. This prepared me for my next gig — in of all fields, computer technology publishing. In 1990, I left non-profit for corporate America.

This was the decade of high-tech. And as PR manager for PC World magazine I was in the thick of it, promoting the magazine’s editorial, circulation and advertising programs, and securing interviews for editors on “Good Morning America” and other top programs. I also had the honor and pleasure of writing and editing PC World’s award-winning Marketing Edge newsletter.

In 1995, with the dot.com boom heating up, I left PC World to start Credible Communications. I must really love a challenge. While juggling multiple clients (many crazed startups with unrealistic deadlines, which I managed to meet) and motherhood, I completed my first novel, The Love We All Wait For. It was published in September 2008. I’m halfway through my second novel (some people never learn).

I continue to write copy for business-to-business and business-to-consumer clients. I’m happy when they’re happy, so I work hard and deliver quality work.
