Your Company's Needs

We all know that corporate writing needs and entertainment value don't always go hand in hand. Well, that's where Mike comes in. He specializes in taking corporate output and making it sound as if it might actually have been said by a human being. With his comedy expertise, Mike can add a little levity if it fits. He has also written many speeches for business and charity clients. He can certainly be serious, but he can make you laugh, too. So why are clients like Shell, BMC Software, Chevron, Compaq, and Teflon still smiling? Easy. They hired Mike Vance to write scripts, speeches and content that will teach, motivate, inform and amuse their employees and customers. You'll be glad you let him do the same for you.

A World of Fun

Mike's first book, called Oilers Anonymous: A Twelve Step Program for Houston Oiler Fans, was published in 1994. Since then he's finished several other books of sports humor with more in the works. Sports is a passion for Mike. He was a regular on Sports Sunday with Craig Roberts on Houston's NBC affiliate for several years. Mike's job was to write and perform sports comedy sketches. His jokes, in the hands of sports celebrities, have also lampooned the likes of Charles Barkley, George Foreman, Ben Crenshaw, Clyde Drexler and Van Chancellor. Sports columns haven't escaped Mike's notice either. He's written some very funny ones for various outlets. Then there's the radio. Mike co-hosted an afternoon drive talk show in Houston, commenting on the days' happenings in sports, politics and the news.

So what has Mike got up his literary sleeve next? How about a baseball novel, three screenplays and a fun book of Christmas and Holiday poems for kids. Oh right, and whatever you need.
