TESTIMONIALS

“I know Michael Masterson and what he has taught me has revolutionized the way I write direct mail – taking it to the next level.  His program is the best correspondence program for copywriting I have ever seen – in fact, the best copywriting program I’ve seen anywhere, in any form. Anyone who wants to get into direct response copywriting would benefit enormously from taking it.  AWAI has helped many of its members get assignments and succeed as freelance DM copywriters.”
-- Robert W. Bly, Professional Copywriter and author of The Copywriter’s Handbook

“From the moment I began AWAI’s program I knew I was learning things that would change my life and I was right.  Within a matter of weeks after completing the program I found myself working on a copywriting assignment for $3,000!  And within the next month, I added two more assignments that paid $1,500 each.  All my life I struggled to find a way that I could make a lot of money and be happy doing it.  AWAI’s program did that and more.”
-- Paul L., Ft. Lauderdale, FL

“AWAI’s Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting was everything I hoped it would be! It was easy for me to walk away from an 18-year engineering career shortly after I finished the program. I had all the work I could handle. I feel like I’m finally leading the life I was meant to live. I can’t thank you enough!”
-- Krista J., Roswell, GA

“When I got that first letter telling me I could make $100,000 a year as a professional copywriter, I was skeptical. If I hadn’t been so desperate… and so broke… I might have thrown it away.   That was three years ago.  This year I claimed $134,408 on my income tax return – all from copywriting!”
-- Monica D., Philadelphia, PA

“I just landed my first paying assignment – with one of the country’s best copywriters.  When he called, the phone nearly fell out of my hand!

Then just yesterday, one day after finishing this first paying assignment, my client called again and was so impressed with what I had done, he asked if I could do 6 more ‘Special Reports’ for him. My Graphics Design program just got paid for and my Graphics Design business is turning a PROFIT!

Needless to say, I am one happy camper and am grateful for all I’ve learned from all the fantastic folks at AWAI !”
-- Dennis R., Prairieville, LA

“This past year alone, my company, Agora Publishing, paid out over $1 million in writing fees and royalties to a handful of copywriters.  And you know what?  I’m happy to do it.  Why?  Because a good letter is the ‘engine’ of my business. 

“I’m always looking for more copywriters.  Lots more…There just aren’t enough writers to write the hundreds of letters my company needs written every year.  And I’m not alone.  The whole industry needs copywriters. 

“That’s why I’m thrilled that my friend and colleague Michael Masterson put together his copywriting program.  It is by far the most comprehensive program I’ve ever seen on the subject. 

“In fact, I’ve made a special arrangement with AWAI.  I’ve asked them to send their most promising students my way first.  So far, my publishers are working with more than a dozen students who have come from Michael’s program.”
--Bill Bonner, President, Agora Publishing

“You might have the best product in the world, but it doesn’t matter one bit if you can’t get the word out. That’s why good marketing copy is the lifeblood of any business.  I used the techniques I learned in AWAI's Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting to launch my own profitable business.  Now I’m working with other copywriters trained by Michael Masterson to grow that business.”
-- Justin Ford, President Seedsofwealth.com

“I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for locating a great writer for my business.  As you know it’s hard to find good writers in direct mail. And one of your new writers just beat my control. Can’t top that!  If you have anymore of these well train copywriters...please send them my way. Thanks for all your assistance.”
-- Al Serin, President, AlMark Products Inc.

“To tell the truth, I was doing pretty well as a copywriter before I met Michael Masterson. The letters I wrote got good results, and my clients called me regularly to give me jobs. But once I met Michael and started following his advice, things really took off. He taught me something I’d never even thought of before: how to make sure that anyone reading my letters would KEEP reading them, page after page, till the end. There’s an amazing way to do it...and it works! That secret alone is worth the price of his program – an amount that, by the way, I can earn 5 times over, by writing a simple 4-page letter.”
-- Nancy Collins, Professional Copywriter 

“I finished Passport to Romance a few months ago and have since been published three times in a local magazine in Nagoya, Japan (where I live).  My online serial tale, Vin, is also being published with a worldwide audience (it’s not travel-writing but I’ve been able to use what I learned in the program in many different ways). With what I learned in the program my writing has improved tenfold.  Thank you.”
-- Rob D., Nagoya, Japan

“I’m happy to say that it’s only been around three weeks since I’ve started seriously marketing my copywriting services, and I have one client I just signed an agreement with, another I’m talking to today who contacted me through a mutual friend, two more possibilities pending, and another person who has a potential ghost-writing project that sounds very interesting. I don’t even have my website up yet--no time, too much work! So you can encourage people that the work really is out there, and that when they’ve taken the AWAI program, you really do know what you’re talking about when you talk to potential clients.”
-- Diane E., Winfield, IL

Testimonials from our
Ultimate Travel Writer Course
and Live Workshops

"I've always had passions for both travel and for writing -- but whenever I tried combining the two, I failed miserably. Since starting the Passport to Romance Course, I've had four articles accepted for publication! Quite simply, the course teaches you things that it would literally take you years to discover by trial and error. I consider it a modest investment for restoring my dream of becoming a travel writer! Thanks to AWAI for providing the seeds to grow journal entries into publishable stories" - Mike Slagle

"Without all of you and the workshop, I would still be out there foundering amongst the hit and misses. Meanwhile, another article was published in a newsletter out of San Luis Obispo, CA, for the hundreds of ex-DEWLiners across the U.S., Canada and Greenland and Iceland. And I overhauled the Mazatlan article for an Inflight magazine and am awaiting a response. I am currently researching 3 additional projects and have support from the west coast PR for the Fiji Islands (my home away from home). Can't seem to stay still for 'retirement!' That's my best excuse for traveling. Thanks again and Blessings!"

- Eunice Traske

"I've had two bits published by, guess who? International Living! It's a good system to subsidize the course fee! And clip-generating, of course."

- Peter H.

"I finished Passport to Romance a few months ago and have since been published three times in a local magazine in Nagoya, Japan (where I live). My online serial tale, Vin, is also being published with a worldwide audience (it's not travel-writing but I've been able to use what I learned in the course in many different ways). With what I learned in the course my writing has improved tenfold and I'd like to say thank you to you and Ms. Jen Stevens."

- Rob Dupuis

"The Traveler is publishing at least three of my articles, Trips and Journeys has accepted another one. And another online magazine has just accepted a story I submitted through the travel writing course's critiquing program. The great feedback I got from the Travel Writing course made my success possible.and I'm now a regular paid contributor to several magazines!"

- Wendy Vanhatten

"... the time spent learning with you in Paris that first week flew by, and thanks to your sincere efforts and generous nature, will always be fondly remembered by me. Thank you for offering so much to all of us, and providing not only a marvelous array of speakers and events, but excellent textbook materials that will be a tremendous resource I know I will turn to often. Classes were to the point, inclusive of our individual needs and concerns, and covered an exhaustive array of quite valuable tools and tips. I have been telling everyone who will listen what a great experience I had. Thank you.

-Colleen A. Quill

 
Many thanks for the wonderful seminar. It was most worthwhile from all aspects and we would attend another in a heartbeat if available. Material covered was extensive but well presented in the time permitted. We were impressed as to how well qualified and informed our instructors are.

-Duane and Harlene Harm

 
"I just returned from the Travel Writers' Workshop, 2nd session, and I was overwhelmed with the material covered and the information disseminated. It was more than I expected and I learned more than I can put to use in a lifetime. The travel arrangements were perfect, economical, no hidden costs to surprise me, and since I was traveling alone and not in a group, surprisingly easy to negotiate. Thanks for making it so pleasurable my first time out in the city of lights... and you can quote me."

-Constance Daley
American Reporter Correspondent

"Definitely, this workshop gives you every tool box of skills, information, writer’s secrets and how-to’s for writing. The completeness of the workshop’s travel writing “helps” surprisingly works for any articles, not just for travel writing. A college course packed into 3 days which I’d recommend to any aspiring writer.”

–Judith Allred

 
“Yes, the course is thorough and well-organized offering valuable, useful information as learned and presented by actual working professional writers. I am somewhat astonished by their generosity in imparting their hard-earned knowledge.”

-Carol Delgado

 
 
“Best workshop I’ve attended in many, many years-focused, practical tools and templates for successful travel writing and the nuts and bolts of how to get published.”

–Nadia Beiser

 
“This excellent, realistic and easy to follow workshop provides a step by step guide to becoming a travel writer. There is no better way to absorb the culture of another country then to write about it.”

–Dale Gaber
