About Steve Osborne …
Good writing makes heroes and triggers raging success. It builds image and creates experts. It grasps opportunities and puts out fires.
An award-winning writer with over 20 years of full-time experience, I can help you make words your powerful ally.
I began my professional writing career at the age of 17 as a humor and feature contributor to The Salt Lake Tribune. For over 20 years I have worked as a full-time freelance writer, winning national, regional and local awards. I have completed projects for a diverse list of companies and organizations, including American Express, Intel, Zero Halliburton, Coca Cola, Novell, Franklin Covey, Huntsman Chemical, Salt Lake City Corporation, Beneficial Life Insurance, University of Utah, ServiceMaster and Usana International.
My list of published works includes over 300 magazine articles, including profiles and travel articles for such magazines as Popular Photography, Writer’s Digest and Backpacker, as well as several books covering a wide spectrum of subjects.
Plus, I teach people how to write effectively, presenting the popular Write to Win one-day seminar to personnel in public and private companies and providing personal writing coaching. I am also an adjunct instructor for Utah State University.

A Few Words From My Clients …

He makes everything we write sound better and completes his work very quickly. Steve’s writing capabilities are outstanding. His writing style is extremely clear and polished. Life is much better now that we have Steve Osborne writing for us.” — Bob Cardon, Dynatronics Corporation
“Steve has a unique ability to take difficult concepts and turn them into clear, simple, yet powerful ideas on a written page. With Steve’s help, we were able to take a rough outline and turn it into a very professional manual. Steve is extremely conscientious and a delight to work with. We would have no hesitation recommending Steve to anyone who is looking for professional writing services.” — Mark L. Oborn and Daniel K. Bell, Springs Leadership
“We have worked extensively with Steve for more than a decade. It has been a wonderful and highly professional relationship. Steve is a great writer, a thoughtful strategist, and his logic and organization match his creative talents. When we are looking for creative writing and organizational skills, we have always turned to Steve. His abilities are the perfect marriage of practical and artistic. He is absolutely tops on our charts.” — Jeffrey Babener, Leading Legal Counsel for the Direct Selling Industry, Author, and Publisher
“Steve is an accomplished writer. Any subject he tackles is handled with knowledge, wit, and professionalism. He has written for my publications for close to 20 years and has always hit the mark.” — Carolyn Tice, Editor
“Steve is the kind of writer you always hope you can work with for several reasons. He actively listens to you, taking in both what you say and the tone and context of what needs to be conveyed. He makes absolutely certain he understands what’s expected, repeating back and summarizing the exact gist of what’s to be written until you and he have the same understanding. Then he pumps out the copy faster than anyone I’ve ever worked with and he almost always hits it on the first try. Rewrites are a foreign concept when working with Steve.” — Julie Parke, Novell
“Steve played a big role in making my advertising agency a success. Although I had over 20 employees, I was able to contract with Steve on a per-project basis and get even a better, more objective, and fresh perspective on each client’s copy needs than if I had the writing done in-house. Plus, he saved me money by saving me overhead. He is always quick to respond, efficient, and gives each new client a crisp, exciting image and identity. He works well with my clients, always making the finest impression. I can turn him loose and never have to worry about the job proceeding on schedule.” — Doug Webb, Probe International
“Steve’s writing, always clear and comfortably engaging, continually startles the reader with penetrating insight. Whatever topic he addresses, he always conveys more than the sum of his words.” — Robben Hixson, Passage Press
