14 STORY IDEAS FOR AGE-BEAT REPORTERS BELOW>>>>>>

---

Dear Editor,

Suddenly Senior is a popular, bright syndicated humor column written especially for the enjoyment of your 50+ crowd — your paper's most avid readers and biggest spenders.

Now you can give this vital segment of your readership a light, knowing voice reporting from the front lines the profound experience of becoming a geezer. And enjoying it.

Already syndicated with three of the most popular senior sites on the Internet, Web site reviewer Briefme.com says:

"Check out Frank Kaiser's Suddenly Senior to get the real truth of growing up and older in a society that has difficulty acknowledging and respecting older folks. Real stories through real-life experiences will touch your heart and your funny bone!"

Enjoyed in newspapers like yours from coast to coast, here's what Diane Wagner, Editor of Washington state's Senior Messenger declared about Suddenly Senior:

"We have looked for years for a column like Suddenly Senior. We wanted a literate, witty, sometimes biting, sometimes ironic male writer with an exterior of rumpled steel and the heart of a streetwise pussycat! We found him in Suddenly Senior's Frank Kaiser."

I know. You provide seniors with stock tips. Scam warnings. Social Security advice. But wouldn't those readers welcome the opportunity to really laugh at themselves and their foibles in what may well be the best stage of their lives?

Bob Epp, Publisher of Philadelphia's Milestones Magazine, thought so. Now he says:

"We searched high and low for a clever, professionally written feature that would lighten our pages and attract new readership. Suddenly Senior has just that right touch that our readers love, whether they're 50 or 80."

See for yourself. Please read some of the recent columns.

Start rewarding your 50+ readers with a resonating and humorous voice of their own. It all begins by calling me at 727.726.0066 or e-mailing me at frank@suddenlysenior.com. There's no contract. No obligation.
