“Success Parade” Continues

Congratulations to AWAI Member Ken Naddeo on the publication of his first book. From Ken’s note to me:

“Even though the title is The Man’s Rules of Marriage, it seems that women get the most laughs out of it.

“Because of the Accelerated Copywriting Program, I was able to write a book that I had been working on for some years. It’s now published and on Amazon. When I got the first copy from the publisher, I ran around for a week like a little kid with a new toy.

“I had worked in construction most of my life, but was in a bad motorcycle accident that almost took my left leg. During the recovery time (one year), I decided to take the plunge and finish the book. Thank you for giving me the confidence I needed.”

Things are also happening for AWAI Member Eddie Adelman. Since leaving Bootcamp last year, Eddie’s been totally energized … writing every single day – including weekends.

One of the Job Fair participants, At Home in Palm Beach County magazine, is about to publish the article he wrote for their spec assignment in their Spring issue.

Plus, Eddie just finished up a paid assignment for Taipan – a renewal letter for their subscribers.

Says Eddie: “Thanks to AWAI for this new lease on life …”

Another AWAI Member, Amity Hook-Sopko, told us, “I landed my first web-copy client! I’ve just started working with the creator of an affiliate blog on sustainable living to provide about 75 blog posts over the next several weeks. I’m so excited! I’ll be writing about something that really interests me – like a dream job!

“She said she was impressed with my knowledge of SEO, my writing style, and blog topic suggestions so much, she had planned on using a few writers, but she decided to work exclusively with me.

“I wouldn’t have known how to do any of this without AWAI’s web-writing program. It answered ALL my questions.”
