A nationally published author, Sharon was later made managing editor of the Puget Sound's biggest computer magazine. She learned the ins and outs of marketing firsthand while publishing her own magazine. Marketing the magazine was a two-fold and complicated task: She had to market to subscribers and distributors to sell the magazine, and she had to market to advertisers to sell the ads. But she got hooked on marketing. She wrote her first Web site in 1997, and has been a copywriter ever since, founding We Know Words (http://www.weknowwords.com) in 2000. She’s opinionated and productive. She started out writing weekly marketing tips (http://www.marketinginaminute.com) dubbed Sharon’s Marketing Minute. She moved on to monthly email newsletters called Sharon’s Marketing Monthly. She then graduated to this blog two years ago, with the title Sharon’s Marketing Missive. Just as marketing and copywriting continue to evolve, so does Sharon’s approach to getting her insight out there into the marketing world!
