5Excellent Source for the Aspiring Freelancer  Dec 01, 2008
You will read this book and feel empowered by the information given to you in Robert Bly's familiar, easy to understand prose. As one of the most successful copywriters in existence, I suppose it's hard not to be swept up by his promises of success and instant tips for improving your business writing. But knowing full well that I am at the disposal of a writer who makes a living winning people over, I still allowed myself to be won over by this book.

I am certain that it will continue to serve me well throughout my career and I urge anyone interested in strategic writing to pick up a copy.

3A maybe for aspiring copywriters, a no for practicing copywriters.  Jul 27, 2008
If you're a practicing copywriter and don't know what a brochure is -- ummmmm...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but perhaps you should consider another career. Yes, this book actually defines what a brochure is. I am shocked to see that experienced copywriters found it useful. The advice is rudimentary at best. I gave it three stars because a) basic information has its place and b) I didn't want to tarnish the rating. It was my mistake to buy it. If you're looking for a book to inspire award-winning creative, get Creative Advertising by Mario Pricken. After devouring it in one sitting, I wrote copy all night long. For fun. On a weekend. And, no, I'm not a sweltering geek. The Kickstart Catalogue is an amazing tool for bringing out your natural talent. It teaches you from the inside out (you'll understand what I mean when you read it).

5The Copywriters Handbook  Jul 04, 2008
This great book opens up with how to formulate your letters and write copy ad. Mr. Bly explains it like if you were a child so you can and will understand it. So many great resources that you can use right away. I would like to encourge any copywriter or anyone in the field of marketing a must have in your library. Plus he works with the man Fred Gleeck the truth on Info Products. Have a great one.

Bly covers everything! Not only will you master a new style of writing, you learn the business of writing, how to pitch yourself, and how to move pass a rejected proposal. It's Brilliant
