It Takes a (Creative) Village.

My new website, http://www.writesquared.com/, has been in the works for most of the first quarter.

In preparation for a total rebranding, including a new logo and tagline, new colors and design, new navigation and content, and a new photo, I immersed myself in research. I spent long, solitary hours reading books, watching TV, scouring magazines and surfing websites.

But it was hardly a DIY process. Rather, it was truly collaborative.

My brilliantly talented, endlessly supportive friends provided me with the most constructive and creative feedback. Often at exactly the time when I needed it most.

If you like what you see here, credit also goes to each of them. I couldn't have done it without their invaluable help. A heartfelt thanks to:
