Peter Bowerman is clearly a talented and successful copywriter but can he pass his skills to wannabe writers via this book? While the book definitely got me motivated, and I am starting to bring some money in as a writer, I do think Peter may underestimate how his own character, personality and background in sales may have impacted his own progress. Having said that, any aspiring commercial writer will glean valuable industry know-how in these pages. Don't be too surprised, though, if you're not quite able to jack in the day-job by the end of the stated 6 months.
After I read The Well Fed Writer, I must have told lots of people who are also interested in making a living out of freelance writing, to read the book. In a nutshell - It's brilliant. The tone is inspiring; the information is really useful and the guy who wrote the book seems really lovely. So if you're thinking about venturing into the world of freelance copywriting, this is the book to buy.
The Well-Fed Writer shows that writers do not have to starve to write for a living. In fact, there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to take them. All it takes is the will and a little hard work.
