Write to Sell: the Ultimate Guide to Great Copywriting
 |
This is my take on all the classic rules of copywriting but from a thoroughly practical viewpoint. Broader then pure mail order or direct mail copywriting guides, it shows you how to write powerful, persuasive copy from scratch. There are lots of reviews on Amazon. Here's one from Drayton Bird, the godfather of direct marketing... “If I were starting out as a writer tomorrow, I would definitely want to read this book. I pretty much taught myself most of the tricks all those years ago - and it took me far too long. Had I read it, it would have saved me years of trial and, for the most part, error.” |
And here's a recent email I received from a reader...
"Dear Andy
Congratulations on your fantastic book Write to Sell, which I bought through Amazon recently. As a publications manager for business information, I am full of praise and recommendation for your book. It is one of the best writing guides that I have ever seen (and I have read many). Your advice on customer focus is eye-opening, even for those who have studied marketing and business.
It is amazing how many well-qualified people (even PhDs) bumble through their professional lives without ever really caring properly about their writing styles, with many not even mastering punctuation. Their results remain amateurish, no matter how much volume they write. People who care about excellence in writing are extremely valuable to companies, I feel - and rare.
Best wishes and thank you for the inspiration."
