Clanzenetta “Mickee” Brown is the principal consultant for Special Project Partners. She is also the firm's founder and owner.
"I started this firm because I wanted to write for a living and because I was told that I write well. While my goal is to always offer my clients elegant, clear, and concise prose. I have learned that writing transcends what ends up on the page or computer screen. Writing is also a creative and analytical process requiring us to acquire, develop, and disseminate information." C.M. Brown
Mickee has been honing her writing, Research, and administrative skills for twenty years. She has worked for a variety of firms in several disciplines - Brooks Health System (community health), Jacksonville Community Council, Inc. (public policy and advocacy), CitiStreet (benefits administration), Prudential (insurance and investments), Barnes and Noble Booksellers (retail), BancBoston Mortgage Company (mortgage banking), Salomon Brothers Inc. (investment banking), and First Florida Bank (commercial banking).
This is Mickee's second entrepreneurial venture. She founded Information Design Services (IDS) in 1995 to provide business support services to small and home-based businesses. Mickee worked on a variety of projects while running IDS, including writing press releases and business plans, designing newsletters, and compiling notes for authors.
Mickee's education credentials include:
Florida State University: Grant Writing Certificate
University of North Florida: Professional Writing Certificate
University of Phoenix: Master of Arts in Organizational Management
University of Tampa: Bachelor of Liberal Studies in Humanities
University of South Florida: Course work in writing, communications, literature, and journalism
Special Project Partners is the result of Mickee’s desire to integrate her personal and professional lives in a way that each benefits and compliments the other.
SPECIAL NOTE: Though Special Project Partners is a sole proprietorship, I use the pronoun "we" throughout this website because I often work with other contractors and I also consider my business a cooperative arrangement between me and my clients.
