Meet AWAI-Trained Writer:

Michael Hicks

Michael Hicks

Location: Hardy, VA
Professions: Copywriter
Specialties: Health

Professional Background:

Proven Integrity, Character, Attention to Detail and Deadlines, and Well Traveled all best describe Michael.

He retired in 2002 from the federal government after 25 years of service - 10 in the Army and 15 as a white collar civilian. He served as a Russian and Serbo-Croatian linguist in the US and abroad.

Michael is on hiatus from nursing school to build a copywriting career. He will use this knowledge - along with personal experience as a former congestive heart failure patient and extensive travel - to help clients in the Health/Alternative Health and Travel niches.

Michael joined The Barefoot Writer in February 2012 and won that month's Writing Challenge. The $100 in prize money offered proof that paid future assignments are a very real possibility.

To this end, he will be attending the October 2012 AWAI Bootcamp & Job Fair. Potential clients include The Barefoot Writer, AWAI/Early to Rise, International Living, Boardroom, HSI, and Dr. Al Sears among others.
