Letters Home
Wanna know a secret? Of course you do. In the history of that question, there’s only been a handful of people who’ve said no, and we both know they were lying. If you’ve been reading my words for longer than a year, know me in real life, or have ever exchanged an email with me, [...]
Why I’m Moving to Ohio For Another Woman
Five months ago I boarded a plane and headed to Ohio, on my way to meet my newest partner, Lori Taylor. Having recently surfaced from a ridiculously difficult year, I made a promise to my family that I wouldn’t allow our new opportunity to swallow the success we’d worked so hard to find, or consume [...]
On Breaking Down
Last week I asked for suggestions for things to write about that would allow me to quickly drop a thought or two. Here is one of the first questions asked, along with my response. Hi there! I’m Pito from Indonesia. Been following your blog for quite some times but trying to keep myself under the [...]
It’s Up To YOU
This is one of those weeks. You know the ones. It’s the last week of school, plus Max’s final day of Kindergarten and birthday both fall on the same day. Time mocks me. I’ll be back next week with some regular posts, but I was thinking that in the meantime you could help me out. [...]
Been Weird Lately
Been weird, not writing. Life’s never been busier. And though things are terrific, I’ve hardly have time to think, let alone craft copy for Writer Dad. Most of what has been published here lately are words written long ago, then stored in WordPress like wood for winter. The few times I’ve managed to find the [...]
Lifting Some of the Veil
Wanna see something cool? I’ve been working on a lot of stuff with REV, which has kept this busy bee buzzing from honeycomb to garden and back with barely a breath. The work has been wonderful. High quality content that puts the reader first. One of the projects in production has been a new site [...]
Missing You
I’ve missed you. I’ve missed sitting down, sparking thought like a current through my fingers, then standing satisfied. I miss the reflection and the typographical look in the mirror. But I’m happy. Really, really happy. For those of you who don’t read Ghostwriter Dad, Dave and I have started working with Lori Taylor and her [...]
YAY! My First Book is FREE!!!
This is a guest post from Kelly McCannlis, 5th grade author of the new book, “Penny to a Million.” Wow, I don’t know what to say! When Mr. Platt told me I could write something for his site to promote my new book, I was super duper excited. I asked him what I should write [...]
Welcome to the Creative Copy Challenge
One thing about the Internet is the amazing speed at which it is possible to throw up a site and build a community. Toward the end of December, Shane Arthur, an acquaintance who I’d met in the comment section of Copyblogger, approached me with what I thought was a good idea. Shane wanted to spark [...]
We Do Ink. Well.
One of the most amazing things to happen to me in 2008 was meeting David Wright, the most remarkable creative partner I’ve ever had. One of the most significant things about this past year, was discovering the depth of that relationship’s roots and the direction they’d send a large slice of my life. When Dave [...]

Hi, I'm Sean Platt - author, father, and Creative Director at Rev Media Marketing. Writer Dad is my life as it unfolds. This chapter of my journey began two years back when I took a chance on myself by closing a successful business to pursue my dream of writing for a living. It was the craziest, riskiest and most wonderful thing I've ever done. Well, except for becoming a dad.
