Writing in both men’s and women’s
markets simultaneously has allowed Murphy to explore a greater range of
general-interest articles. Some written towards a much broader demographic of
readers, while other times targeted to a specific and unique audience. His
partial list of international general-interest magazine clients has included:
American Health, AOL, Arthritis Today,
Better Homes and Gardens, Child, Cooking Light,
Experience Life, Health, Match.com, Newsweek, Philadelphia, Popular Science, Poz,
Psychology Today, Real Fighter, Success, United Airlines and Yahoo.
His ability to match any magazine voice has allowed Murphy to write for the
general public on nearly every topic, including exercise and health, sex and
relationships, parenting, celebrity profiles, first-person humor, gear and toys,
nutrition, travel and general service. Many of his 120+ general-interest
features, departments and editorials have been published internationally in over
26 countries, including Germany, Spain, Brazil, Africa, Japan, Great
Britain and Australia. Just a handful of career highlights in the
general-interest market:
