McNair Edits
oversaw work of staff and freelance writers for national trade magazines, including Baking Industry, Hardware Merchandiser, Hardlines Wholesaling, and Construction Equipment Distribution. . . . as Senior Account Executive for a Major PR Firm: I edited staff-written features for Burson-Marsteller for six years, while writing and placing hundreds of my own articles with appropriate trade magazines and writing and producing three company magazines. I also developed and ran client communications programs, winning the nation’s top PR award—the Public Relations Society of America’s Silver Anvil—for innovative programming. I also won Chicago’s top PR trophy (the Golden Trumpet) three years running. . . . as an Independant PR Consultant: As owner of McNair Marketing Communications for 22 years, I traveled the country visiting my clients’ customers to write features showing how they used the clients’ services and products to solve problems. I placed those articles in trade publications read by other potential client customers. |

(co-authored) BJ, Milo, and the Hairdo from Heck ...my two young adult novels... The Long Hunter Attack of the Killer Prom Dresses ...a short story compilation... The Old Man on the Park Bench
