To the Media,
What Sets The Well-Fed Writer apart?
With the countless "how-to" writing guides flooding the market, you might be tempted to dismiss the The Well-Fed Writer as just a one more addition to the growing pile. Not so fast… What makes it 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 Writer
focuses 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 TWFW avoids romanticizing the field (while many
commercial projects are fun, interesting and creatively rich, there IS
more fulfilling writing out there), it doesn’t apologize for its
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…" This book
isn’t theoretical in its approach; TWFW
chronicles every step I took in building my own successful commercial
writing business to financial self-sufficiency in under four months. In
addition, it includes robust 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
This book isn’t a dry read. With a fun, humorous, irreverent style, it book keeps readers entertained…and reading.
Award-Winning Books
All three Well-Fed Writer titles have either won awards or were finalists in their category. The most recent 2010 updated edition of TWFW has garnered THREE awards and is a finalist for a fourth. See the full accolade roster below.
