About the Author

Sheree Clark and Wendy Lyons have worked together on several projects over the years, but Creative Direct Mail Design is the first book they've co-authored.

Sheree Clark is a native of Saratoga Springs, New York. Since 1985, she has been a principal of Sayles Graphic Design in Des Moines, Iowa. She has written numerous articles for graphic arts trade publications and published her first book in 1984--a history project for Drake University. Clark holds a B.S. in Retail Marketing from Rochester Institute of Technology and a master's degree from the University of Vermont. Clark's passion for design extends to her free time activities: she collects art deco compacts and jewelry, Lucite handbags, and industrial design and packaging from the 1930s.

Growing up in the small town of Eldridge, Iowa, Wendy Lyons wrote her first poem at age 4. "Yes, it was about farm animals," she laughs. Lyons enjoys writing everything from poetry to direct mail copy to books and articles on graphic design. As copywriter for Sayles Graphic Design, she has an extensive background in writing direct mail campaigns for clients nation-wide. Lyons holds a B.S. in Radio/Television from Kansas State University and is an accomplshed television commercial and corporate video writer/producer. When she's not writing, Lyons enjoys heirloom flower garedning and collecting Victorian antiques.
