Hi, and welcome to my home page. I’m Lance Brown, formerly of Dalton, MA, and currently of Grass Valley, CA.

I’m a writer, a website publisher, an activist, an entrepreneur, and a freelance communications and Internet consultant. Among other things.

Here you can find a lot of stuff that has to do to with me:

My Websites

• GreenLiberty.org is a site I’ve been toying with for a long time, and which may or may not be finding its second wind about now. (It looks pretty, at least.)
• CampusLP.org has been providing free hosting and e-mail service for student libertarian clubs since 2001. It is now also a “portal” site which has forums, downloadables, and other resources for libertarian student activists.
• PNAC.info was created in 2003 to expose the Project for the New American Century, and now aims to persuade the American public to reject the neoconservative foreign policy approach.
• LettersToMitch.com is an Arrested Development appreciation site that I started in April 2006.
• Freedom2008.com was the website for my presidential campaign, which has been suspended for the time being. I won’t be running in 2008, but there’s plenty at the site if you’d like to check it out.

My Creative

• I’ve got a gallery of photos at photos.lancebrown.org. There are some photos of me and political events that I’ve been involved with, but the bulk of the photos are of natural scenery, animals, and pets (including a LOT of peacocks). There are about 600 pictures at the time I’m writing this. More to come soon.
• I’ve written a fair amount of poetry in my day. The poems that I’ve chosen to make public are gathered over at poems.lancebrown.org.
• In recent years I’ve begun to work more on my creative (prose) writing, and that is beginning to bear fruit. A small amount of that fruit can be found here on my new writing page.
• I’m putting together an online portfolio featuring most of the things I’ve created, from posters, press releases, and programs, to op-eds, web sites, and various writings. There are already a number of items gathered there, at works.lancebrown.org.

My Résumé and Qualifications

• Here is a page with online versions of my résumé and some of my other qualifications.
• Here is a fairly comprehensive list of the different jobs I’ve had over the past 20 years.

Aside from all that, my interests include reading, animals, the Internet, philosophy, walking with my dogs, revolution, and music. Not necessarily in that order.

The entries that I post here at my lancebrown.org blog are likely to be things that are primarily of interest to myself - I’m using it to gather resources on screenwriting and other writing at this time, mostly.

I’m working to further weave all this stuff into a coherent whole of some sort. And I’m only getting started, in terms of things I want to get done. This is all just the tip of a quite large iceberg. Stay tuned!

Feel free to contact me if you feel moved to do so.

Thanks for your visit!

Be well, be free,

Lance Brown

I’ve been writing copy in various capacities for the past 12 years or so. Here are some examples of my business and copywriting.

– For Project Simplify –

For the past year, I have been working as a freelance consultant for Project Simplify, a business simplification services company based in Nevada City, CA. My duties have been widely varied, and have included website development, copywriting and editing, business and marketing consulting, and quite a bit more.

You can read a testimonial about my skills from Project Simplify’s founder here, and another blog post that she wrote about my work here.

Here are some examples of writing I’ve done for Project Simplify in 2006*.

Newsletter writing and editing

Since May of 2006, I have served as co-editor and a writer for Project Simplify’s newsletter, The Simplifier (previously The Weekly Simplifier).

In that capacity, I have proofread and edited all of the 26 issues of the newsletter, along with Project Simplify’s founder. I have been responsible for the original content in the sections titled “In The News”/”In The News & On The Web”, “Featured at ProjectSimplify.com”, and “Keep Smiling” for all 26 issues as well.

You can view all of the past issues on the newsletter archive page here.

Additionally, I wrote for the other sections of the newsletter in a few instances:
-I wrote the introductory “Note from…” section in issues 20, 19, 13, 11, and 9.
-I wrote “This Week’s Simplification Tip” in issues 15 and 16.

Articles

I also wrote two articles which were featured in the newsletter and on ProjectSimplify.com:

*In all of these cases, I wrote the base draft text, and then applied revisions and edits based on discussions with the client Project Simplify in order to create the final version.
