Copy is worthless  unless it?s read. Most direct mail copy isn?t. It?s boring, unbelievable or irrelevant. So into the trash it goes.   If you make a weak offer or mail to people who won?t be interested, I can?t help you. But when you get those things right, by God they?ll read my copy. (And if you need some good thinking on offers, I can give you that as well.)   I?ve written compelling copy for Blockbuster, Radio Shack, Hearst, Huntington Bank, Godiva Chocolatier, Laura Ashley, Wachovia and a couple dozen more. I?ve never judged the ECHOs but I?ve won one. More importantly, I?ve beaten my share of controls and won a ton of business for my clients.   I?m Linda S. and I was a senior copywriter at what?s now Hawkeye/FFWD for seven years. I was previously and subsequently creative director of a small general agency with a strong direct focus. Now I?m working for myself and I?d like to work for you..
