AWAI Copywriting Bootcamp 2018 Success Panel

You want copywriting tips? Well, you’re in the right place, my friend!

But first, a little context, so you know this stuff’s the “real deal”.

In October, 2018, I was honored to serve on the “Success Panel” at the American Writers & Artists Inc. (AWAI) Bootcamp in Delray Beach, Florida. It was great seeing friends there, including Liz Farr, sitting next to me on the panel in the photo above, sharing a little “fist bump” moment…

You see, four years ago we were both newbies at this whole copywriter thing, trying to figure it out… and then, lo and behold, there we were receiving recognition together and helping other writers find their own success path.

Just so you know — this stuff works!

Okay, ‘nuf shameless self-aggrandizement…  You want the “real meat”, and so you shall have it!
