Many people, at one time or another, fantasize about writing a book or screenplay. We all have stories to tell or opinions to foist on the deserving public. Wouldn t it be great if you could make money by publishing your words? Bob Bly does. He makes a very good living more than dollars600,000 a year, in fact. Bob writes stories. And essays. And advertising copy. Some of Bob s writing his copywriting earns him a very high per-word rate. Other writing essays and even books on a wide range of topics brings him more modest income but great emotional rewards. By any measure, Bob is an extremely successful writer. He has written some of the most successful direct mail promotions of all time. And he has authored more than 60 books, more than a few of which have been bestsellers. What amazes me about Bob s writing is that it is always good. If you write for a living, as I do, you can appreciate how rare a quality that is. Bob s newly revised and expanded Getting Started as a Freelance Writer is no exception. Bob sent me a copy two days ago and I stayed up that night and read it cover-to-cover. It was, as expected, thoughtful, comprehensive and lucid. It was jam packed with helpful advice from Bob and other writers, including yours truly, such as: Where the work is How to get assignments How to do online research The art of negotiating fees and contracts The secret to turning out good manuscripts How to get paid as much as you deserve And lots more If the fantasy of the writer s life is still tugging at your heart strings, get a copy of Getting Started as a Freelance Writer and read it right away. --Michael Masterson, Ready Fire Aim Newsletter
