Hello,
You are looking for a high end writer, and I think I can provide the kind of quality you are seeking. For more information and a range of writing samples, see my website, maureenhannan dot com. (On the site you will see rates much higher than what you have specified. I am responding to your posting because I think this work would help broaden my portfolio.)
Because two samples exceeded the character space here, I have provided within the body of this response one of the two pieces of writing you requested: a paragraph on the Pont di Rialto. (I will tell you up front that I have never been to Italy--but I interviewed a well traveled friend and looked at her photos to write this paragraph.)
The other sample, a keyword-optimized article for a recent reputation management campaign, did not fit here. You may find it at the bottom of my samples page on my website under "Reputation Management."
Regards,
Maureen Hannan Adams
The Pont di Rialto
Some call it an architectural mess—top-heavy and ungainly. Others are charmed by its massiveness, its whale-back shape, and its mishmash of cramped shops and statuary. Whatever one’s aesthetic judgment of Venice’s Rialto Bridge, it is indisputably iconic. And inescapably impressive. Its 24-foot arch, designed to allow ample clearance for galleys, is stately and arresting—and the entire structure is riveting in its sheer massiveness. Figures of St. Mark and St. Theodore adorn station side of the bridge, and on the other side is the Annunciation—complete with Mary, her angelic visitor, and the Holy Ghost aloft in the center. Rows of tiny shops flank the bridges central walkway, beckoning to tourists with their wares of jewelry, linens, and Murano glass. Four hundred years after its construction, the Pont di Rialto still represents the heart of Venice—and it remains a place teeming with life and popping with architectural interest.
