E-Zine Testimonials

I really enjoy your e-zine. And although I started out thinking I'd become a FLCW, I've actually become a Graphic Designer instead. I face many of the same issues as a freelancer in GD, though, so your articles are just as helpful to me as they are to copywriters. Please keep it coming!

“I want to thank you for creating and maintaining what I consider the best, most informative newsletter on commercial writing around. Each month you provide great examples from fellow professional writers, allowing them to share their success stories and pump me up to continue the vital but often un-fun tasks involved in this business. This is my monthly adrenaline shot. Thanks again!”

Thanks for sharing your insights via the Well-Fed E-Pub each month. I'm a newly minted FLCW, and I've gleaned no end of information -- and just as important, encouragement and motivation -- from your book, and now your newsletters. What a treasure you are to the community of folks doing what we do! I sincerely appreciate what you're doing.

“Your monthly newsletter is the best ‘value added’ out there in the ‘real world’ and probably in cyber-space! But somehow, I think you already knew that ... You get back what you sow ... and more!”

“THE WELL-FED E-PUB is the only writing e-zine you need. The advice and suggestions are always top-notch, and you can always apply them to your work flow in several manners. Also, it offers tips that apply to both the seasoned freelancer and the novice. Keep up the great work.”

“The WELL-FED E-PUB is my monthly java jolt of marketing adrenaline. Peter has a way, with that “tongue out, thumbs-in-ears, neener-neener goading” of his, to get me off my duff and out there building up a healthy backlog! This holds true for both the writing AND photography aspects of my business, so Peter, more power to ya.”

“I've been a writer all my life, but a freelance copywriter for only a year. Although I subscribe to several writing newsletters, I find Peter Bowerman's WELL-FED E-PUB an absolute necessity. Unlike some of the general newsletters, it specifically addresses issues common to all freelance copywriters: marketing, client relations, billing, and collection! If you dream of making a living with your writing skills, this is THE publication. Get it. Today.”

“Peter fosters an encouraging, supportive tone in THE WELL-FED E-PUB that lets all us FLCWs know we’re in this together. He gives us a forum for demonstrating that, with creativity and resourcefulness, we can help lead each other to success. Every issue is chock-full of good advice, leads and encouragement, as always. What a great thing you’ve started!”

“THE WELL-FED E-PUB empowers me to believe I can be a success! As a new freelance copywriter (former journalist), I appreciate the easy-to-read format full of practical information and guidance from Peter as well as other freelance copywriters. I'm ‘full’ after each issue!”
Denise O. Miller

“As a newbie in the freelance field, there's a sense of being alone when you don't have an office to go to each day. THE WELL-FED E-PUB connects me to others who, though we may be separated by miles or perhaps just blocks, we're all living out our dreams and dealing with the ups and downs of the freelancing field. To borrow a slogan from the Marines, ‘We're the few, the proud, the freelance writers.’”

“I read The Well-Fed Writer two years ago and embarked on a variety of freelance endeavors, all of which have been immensely successful. His WELL-FED E-PUB continues to provide practical advice in an informative and upbeat manner. Some e-zines are all about the author; Peter, on the other hand, encourages others to share their experiences. This serves for us to motivate one another to success.”
Michele Ryan

“As a copywriter who is still very green, each month THE WELL-FED E-PUB helps me to better forge my budding career using the experiences of others who’ve walked before me. It helps me to focus on issues pertinent to building my business and reputation, and helps me avoid many pitfalls and obstacles in the field. I may not be quite well-fed yet, but thanks to E-PUB, I far from starving.”
