An article about a person like Donald Trump should do more than list victories. What makes super-success people like "The Donald" tick? I found him to be a deeper and more likeable person than I had assumed  going in.  

"Story and photos by Steve Osborne" is a phrase I've come to love. Why? Because travel articles combine three of the best things in life: writing, photography and travel. The following are some examples. I did the text and photography for the Peru and Abaco articles, and the text and some of the photos for the Egypt piece. 

Why should ads about industrial pipes be dry? After all, good print ads should capture the eye and the mind – if just for a moment. The graphic artist and I came up with this concept. The client loved it.

Sometimes it takes just a little extra effort to come up with an idea that makes a big difference. My "MoM Degree" idea caught on and was well received by the client and the MoMs. Here’s what I wrote.

Although I have written a number of books for other people and publishers, I have written only one (so far) for myself. A publisher took it, and Looking for Angels sold quite well in Barnes & Noble, B. Dalton, Media Play and other book stores. Here is the forward, plus the first part of chapter one.

Good writing should convey a story or message clearly and powerfully without getting in the way. This world-famous fitness guru's story was fascinating to me.... 

Annual reports can be deadly boring. But the Health Sciences Center at the University of Utah had something different in mind. The report focused on people who had donated to the organization. I’ve included one of these stories here, after the VP's message.

This is one of a series of core product brochures I wrote for Covey Leadership Center not long before the company merged with Franklin Quest to become Franklin Covey.

It’s fun writing profiles of interesting people, getting into their lives and finding out what makes them tick. Here’s an article about an interesting lady I did for Priorities magazine.

A versatile freelance writer can tackle a wide range of different types of projects – including catalogs. Here are a few sample pages for a catalog I wrote...

John Ross, a national lecturer and real estate guru, asked me to ghostwrite an autobiography for him. It was a fun project. Here I’ve included the first and last chapters, plus copy from the book jacket.

Fortunately, the client was willing to have a little fun with this magazine ad.
