Adam Gropman Journalist/Writer / FunnyBiz Speec...

Introduction: I am a highly creative, extremely experienced and thoroughly professional journalist, business copy writer and speech writer. I have written extensively for the LA Weekly, Times/Tribune-owned publications Metromix and Brand X, Orange County Register, LA Times and NY Times as well as high-profile websites, winning acclaim, high viewership and considerable public interaction for many of my articles. I excel at doing quick research, conducting efficient interviews and deftly synthesizing various informational threads into a compelling, interesting and easily read article, press release, speech or blog post. As a business writer I have written, edited and punched up hundreds of informational and promotional pieces on a wide range of topics, for a major commercial provider of online content; a public relations firm; and a company that matches up professional journalistic writers with companies and universities that need ghost written articles and content. I have written dozens of speeches for top professionals, business owners and executives, assimilating the specific pertinent facts of their industry, attendees and co-workers to create an effective, entertaining and often highly humorous presentation. I also have a strong specialization in comedy writing, as a professional comedy writer for top TV and theater comedians and public speakers, and for televisions shows. I have an extensive client list as a writer of comedic roast speeches for private clients in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. I really enjoy exercising my command of style and grammar by putting together concise, efficient and evocative sentences and paragraphs that tell a clear story, explain the essential facts and paint a picture for the reader which makes the reading experience enjoyable and the information memorable. I like working with the very interesting, varied professionals, entrepreneurs and creatives I have been fortunate to have as writing clients. I enjoy learning about their world and helping them convey their message and make a powerful positive impression through my own expertise.
