Creative Writing
Introduction
Do you need a humorous piece to liven up a newsletter? A jingle perhaps?
Alan Yoshioka can polish scholarly papers and churn out solid technical reports with the best of ’em, but he loves to work on lighter material as well.
He has, for example, written a dozen topical songs about pharmaceutical development and performed them at company functions – to considerable acclaim. Could your organization’s internal (or external) communications use his whimsical touch?
