The Southern Copywriter
M.J. Polk
Born and raised in the deep South, MJ is a true representation of a southern gentleman.
He has gained a wealth of knowledge over his many years of working and living in southern Georgia.
MJ has worked on commercial construction sites as a plumber’s apprentice, he has logged over 300,000 miles as an OTR truck driver, and spent many harvest seasons as a farm hand.
He has over 25 years of sales experience, ranging from door to door sales, to owning and operating a brick and mortar retail establishment.
A natural storyteller—MJ is both a Fiction and Non-fiction writer, and is a 2025 graduate of Valdosta State University’s Creative Writing Certificate Program. As a prolific author of essays and short stories, he has five self-published books to his credit and is currently writing a novel.
