Customer Reviews

Neat simple textbook for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are responsible for a myriad of copywriting activities.

I liked this textbook. I found it to be well outlined and well written. It has an introduction, eight chapters, and an appendix that provides options for further reading. If you are interested in creative writing as it applies to business (ad copy, Web site copy, direct marketing copy, newsletter copy, etc), then you will find this to be an excellent book to read and work through.

Except for the first two wonderful chapters, each chapter included two interviews and two case studies. I found these chapters to be very helpful in covering different aspects of business creative writing. Also included were good checklists, exercises, and roundups.

I would have liked the book better if the text fonts were a little larger and not nearly as thin. As a result of what I was provided it took me a little longer to read this book than it should have. It was hard to sail through this book because of the type fonts. Also, I didn't find the appendix material to be very impressive.

But the book provides valuable insights into copywriting and I honestly believe any entrepreneur or small business owner would do themselves a favor to get a copy of this book in order to help them make their copywriting better which will make more things happen for their businesses. 5 stars!
