Upcoming Copywriting Summit

If there’s one thing that Tamara and I truly believe, it’s that the quality of your writing matters. In our opinion, better writers are worth more money.

Of course, being able to run your writing business—marketing your services and networking within the industry—is incredibly important, as well. Tamara recently mentioned the idea of “keeping Shakespeare in the basement.” If your writing isn’t selling because of your lacking business skills, you’re effectively keeping the Bard in the cellar.

This month, several of the biggest names in copywriting are teaming up to offer a unique learning opportunity by presenting the 2008 Copywriting Success Summit. This event consists of 12 virtual presentations throughout the month of October, and they promise to be extremely valuable. Here are some of the presenters and their credentials:

• Bob Bly – Bestselling author of Secrets of a Freelance Writer (Ha, weren’t we just ripping on Bob Bly a little bit the other day?)
• Peter Bowerman – Bestselling author of the Well-Fed Writer series
• Brian Clark – Founder of the award-winning Copyblogger blog
• Casey Hibbard – Principal at Compelling Case Studies, Inc. and author of the blog Stories the Sell.
• Jon McCulloch – Irreverent marketer in the business of “kicking the ass of bad marketing.”
• Michael Stelzner – best-selling author of Writing White Papers: How to Capture Readers and Keep Them Engaged
• Steve Slaunwhite – bestselling author of Start and Run a Copywriting Business

According to Michael Stelzner, here’s what you can expect:

“Attendees will learn the secrets of the top experts in the field, how to attract the right kinds of clients, how to turn prospects into clients, how to sidestep your competitors, pricing strategies to boost income, discovering the right niche, and a lot more. Plus, they’ll get to ask questions live and get answers on the spot.”

So, if you’re interested in rubbing some elbows and really taking your copywriting to the next level, the 2008 Copywriting Success Summit might be just the event for you.
