Hello. I have the background you are seeking. I am a Canadian writer who has also been a devoted follower of sports since childhood. This led me to work as an editor in a sports publishing company and to write or co-write several sports books.
I began watching pro football in the early 1980s and followed it closely for many years. I've also read a very large amount of sports writing and journalism, and I know how to craft stories that are personal, compelling, and unique. I am an admirer of such writers as Frank Deford, Bud Collins and Gary Smith, and I have learned some of the key elements of successful sports writing from their techniques.
Thank you for considering me.
Sincerely,
Mark
