To the Media,

What Sets The Well-Fed Writer and TWFW: Back For Seconds apart?

With the countless "how-to" writing guides flooding the market, you might be tempted to dismiss the Well-Fed books as just a few more additions to the growing pile. Not so fast… What makes them different?

Focus on High Income Commercial Writing
Most writing books either concentrate on the craft of writing or discuss arenas of freelancing with dubious and unpredictable financial potential (i.e., magazine article writing, novels, children's books, etc.) The Well-Fed books focus on the lucrative and surprisingly accessible arena of commercial writing - freelancing for Corporate America - where hourly rates range from $50-125+ and 10+ years of corporate downsizing has created more opportunities than ever before.

While these books avoid romanticizing the field (many commercial projects ARE fun, interesting and creatively rich, but as a rule, there IS more fulfilling writing out there), they don't apologize for their emphasis on writing that makes money - good, steady money - an often off-limits subject in the eyes of those who would preserve the artistic "purity" of writing.

Exhaustive Detail
Building a business requires more than general concepts; it demands detail. Feedback from readers and reviewers says it all: "…answers every conceivable question…everything you need to know to start a business…leaves no stone unturned…doesn't just tease and promise but delivers all the nitty-gritty business-building detail…" These books aren’t theoretical in their approach; TWFW chronicles every step the author took in building his own successful commercial writing business to financial self-sufficiency in under four months. And BFS builds on that foundation with expanded marketing sections, chapters on building the business part-time, in smaller markets, and in unusual niches, and filled with firsthand accounts from commercial writers across the spectrum.

Lighthearted, Engaging Style
The Well-Fed books are not dry reads. With a fun, humorous, irreverent style, these books keep readers entertained…and reading.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to explore my site. I am confident that it can be an extremely valuable resource for your readers, viewers and listeners. To the left you'll find many of the tools you need to help make your job easier. Please let me know if I can provide anything else!
