About Tom McKay

A professional writer for over 20 years, Tom McKay's track record includes stints as CBS Radio Network feature correspondent, Los Angeles news reporter, advertising agency copywriter, magazine technology columnist, technical writer and computer applications trainer.

His articles and essays have appeared in Reader's Digest, Los Angeles Times and other major periodicals. His honors include Columbia University's prestigious Armstrong Award for Excellence.

In March, 2001, McKay launched Maine Creative Services, specializing in marketing communications materials that are both effective and interesting: case studies, newsletters, brochures, sales letters and direct response copywriting.

His specialty is information marketing, a no-hype way for service providers to raise their visibility, enhance their reputation and attract ideal clients. Instead of pursuing clients, you attract them by sharing your expert advice in free articles, e-books and audio/video projects.

An experienced speaker and former broadcaster, McKay has a particular talent for spoken word projects: speeches, sales presentations, audio-video scripts, radio ads and web site content.

"Just wanted to let you know how much both John and I enjoy working with you on NewsScan's various editorial products. It is often a challenge running a virtual operation, but you fit right in and somehow always know exactly what needs to be done with very little direction or guidance.

I can't tell you how much easier that makes our lives, and how much we appreciate your clever writing, conscientious attention to detail and good-humored acceptance of our occasional eccentricities."

Suzanne Douglas, NewsScan

After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a B.A. in Communications, McKay began his career as a copywriter at an ad agency in Buffalo, NY.
