The Lake Worth Writer's Block

WANT HELP WRITING RESUMES? SHARPENING YOUR BLOGGING SKILLS? DO YOU WANT TO WRITE COPY THAT OTHERS WANT TO READ?

Then you've found your place. No catch here, I promise! Let me explain...

If all your writing education took place in a classroom, then you're sorely ill-prepared to face the real world. That's because you've been taught a style of writing that isn't remotely marketable in today's world.

But I can help you fix that. My name's Matt Collins, and I'm an all-purpose professional copywriter. I've been a devoted writer all my life, and in the last few years have been lucky enough to work under some of the most successful sales copywriters on the planet.

I've been in the business a few years now, and I've built up a fair share of street cred--my first ghostwritten book was published a few months ago, and I served as managing editor of a financial newsletter that cranked out several million each year. These days I'm starting my own freelance business and my flexible schedule gives me the time to share what I've learned...

Our meetings will be simple and straightforward. Just bring a resume...an article for your blog, or some other sample of your writing, and I'll see what I can do to help polish it up.

We'll also cover general lessons on how to write more appealing copy across all your writings.

This is totally FREE...I just wanted to share what I've learned, and I look forward to learning as much as anyone who chooses to attend.

Apologies for being a little long-winded here...I write for a living.
