Kelly L. Adams Stone Member Registered: 04/08/03 Posts: 267 Loc: Florida	Read books by a man named Bob Bly-- he's got a ton of books on this subject and talks about how to get started in this business. Also, if you go to http://www.awaionline.com/ they have a correspondence course you can take that teaches you everything you need to know to get started in copywriting. I took the class and it was very informative. It's kind of expensive but I thought worth the price. Hope that helps, Kelly

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	Great resources Kelly. I've always found Bob Bly to be a tremendous resource for all kinds of things. I had totally forgotten about him. Duh! Also, I did a simple "google" search and there are literally hundreds of resources to check out. Rather than list them all here, just google "learning how to be a copywriter" and pick the ones you think might interest you. I think a recommedation, such as the one Kelly provided, is invaluable too. It's always nice to hear about someone else's experience before you spend the moola...you know? JJ

forenacct Member Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 15 Loc: Long Island, New York	Hi all, I did begin with google -- which does give one alot of information -- but sometimes I am leery of the sources of the information. And I will take your suggestions -- about Bob Bly and the website mentioned. Thank you so much for your willingness to help--and for answering. I wish you all the best that life can bring -- you all are very kind!!!!

Sandpiper Member Registered: 06/19/05 Posts: 1158 Loc: Kissimmee, Florida	Forenacct, Another good one to read is Peter Bowerman's "The Well Fed Writer". It is about how he became a flcw. He has another book called, "Back for Second Helpings." It's great also. They tell you how to get your business up and running. He also has a newsletter you can subscribe to for free. I believe it is www.thewellfedwriter.com or www.peterbowerman.com Let me know if it's wrong and I'll look it up for you. Just got the Jan newsletter today. Sandpiper
