Allen Cox’s Summary

I have a career background in business management, marketing and CRM, and today am an independent commercial copywriter and editor, magazine writer, published author, writing coach and communications consultant whose clients span multiple industries.

My course "Persuasive Business Writing" is available as an e-book or a facilitated on-site class, and is designed to help organizations transform written communications from merely informative to persuasive. Contact me for more information and a free consultation.

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

I authored Best Easy Day Hikes - Seattle, released in 2009, and my new book, Best Easy Day Hikes - Tacoma, will be released in May 2010. Both are published by Falcon Guides.

As a magazine writer, my articles about travel, the outdoors, food and wine, visual and performing arts, and writing 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
- Northwest Palate
- Northwest Travel
- Washington Magazine
- Northwest Prime Time
- Viva Travel Guides
- Author Magazine
- PROJECT Magazine
and many others
