Welcome! Whether you were sent here via email because we’ve been in contact about a job, or you navigated here via search engine or my Twitter link, I’m glad you’ve taken a second to check me out. While I’m somewhat new to the print game, I’ve been writing for quite some time as you’ll see below. As a TV news editor, I’ve learned a thing or three about tight deadlines and have mastered the art of delivering quality creative work with speed and efficiency. As a freelance editor/producer/writer I’ve learned quite a bit about delivering product which touches an audience, captures their imagination and have a great sense of what tricks and tools are necessary to evoke the desired emotional response to a story, idea or sales pitch.
Just as the title states, this is the page to check out samples of my work which will be posted via link to my “Tear Sheet” Flickr set. You will also find a listing of my credits and awards or links to them if available.
I will be including my editing awards as well since it is all about storytelling and prior to writing professionally I’ve made a pretty good name for myself telling stories with film/video tape. I’ll include links or uploads of some pieces I’ve edited as well.
Thank you for looking!
Tshaka Armstrong
