Allen Cox’s Summary

I freelance full-time in magazine writing, commercial copywriting, editing, and communications consulting.

In June '09, I accepted an assigment as Director of PR for Local Aware, LLC, an exciting new web-based community that brings local businesses and consumers together and puts money back in the local community. If you're an independently owned business, a consumer, or a non-profit organization, Local Aware is for you. Find out what it's all about at: www.localaware.com.

As a features writer, my articles about travel, the outdoors, food and wine, and the arts have appeared in regional, national, and international publications. I have a special interest in green travel, soft-adventure travel, recreation, conservation, sustainability and geotourism. My work has appeared in the following publications:
- South Sound
- AAA's Journey
- CVS Pharmacy's Great Health
- 425 Magazine
- City Arts

In commercial copywriting, I am a generalist; my work ranges from the creative to the conventional. My portfolio spans everything from promotional and web copy to corporate policy documents. My career background includes journalism, marketing, customer relationship management, and process management.
