Big Ring Media Team, Inc.
We provide writing and photography services to consumer and trade publications and electronic media. These services fall into three categories.
Technical Writing Or, more correctly, creative technical writing. Our specialty is making technical subjects accessible to non-technical readers with a package of writing and photography that is engaging and memorable. Technical writing need not make for tedious reading.
Travel Writing Our principals, Richard and Julie Ries, love outdoor activity, especially bicycling. They search continually for lesser-known destinations where they can pursue these activities. As it happens, lots of other folks like to hear about where they've been.
Photography We provide photos as part of a package or as a stand-alone service. There's no need to rely on stock photos or graphics from an agency when you can have high-quality, high-resolution photos unique to your publication.
We've worked with countless editors over the past quarter-century and we understand the pressures they're under. If only it were limited to deadlines. Ad sales staff want preferential treatment for their clients. Advertisers want adjacent, exclusive placement. Sources want prominence in the article. Readers want features on their idiosyncratic interests. Life is tough for editors. We want to make their lives easier. We deliver on time and on spec. We treat sources with dignity while helping them grasp the limitations involved in maintaining journalistic integrity. Sources are asked to review content before it's submitted to ensure technical accuracy and to confirm their quotes really reflect what they intended to say. (Note that sources' edits are restricted to those items attributed to them.) Yes, we're fussy, but we put that fussiness to work for you. Fussiness is a critical component of professionalism.
Helping readers understand and appreciate new concepts - whether those concepts are intriguing technological advancements or unheralded travel destinations - is fun and rewarding. Otherwise we'd be doing something else. Helping editors is the means by which we help readers. Review the information on our site and then Contact us to see how we can help you help your readers.
