« About Richard Goulde Writing »Who is this guy?

Thanks for asking!

My employment in writing started before I even realized it was a career, when I wrote and sold study guides for my classmates in high school.

In college I founded and ran my own small-press publishing company.

Since then, I’ve delved into more sales-centric work in the financial sector. Sales honed my focus: the copy has a job to do, and the page might as well be blank if it doesn’t achieve its goal.

Still, I always managed to keep my finger in the tech writing pie with user guides, white papers, and training materials.

The only job I’ve ever held where I didn’t do one jot of writing was at the IRS. But then, the IRS is not exactly known for creative, compelling copy. I am.
