I have a serious lung condition, and along with that goes an immune deficiency.  (I have transfusions every four weeks to stop me picking up other people's bugs.)

With the heart-wrenching decision from my doctors, I no longer had a job. I had to earn an income somehow, and I had to find a way to do so from the confines of my home.

Since I'd been 'dabbling' with writing for several years - as a hobby - I felt it was the perfect job for me.  So I set about selling my work.  I'm sure you've guessed by now that it wasn't as easy as it seems! 

But I'm a sponge for knowledge, so started studying and learning this craft that now provides a regular income.

This website is focused on teaching you how to profit from your writing.  It covers many aspects of writing, and will teach you not only how to write, but how to use your skills to earn money from your passion of writing.

Anyone who knows me can tell you I don't believe in 'get rich quick' schemes, and I also don't believe in 'free rides'.  You get from this what you put into it, so if you're prepared to work hard and learn your craft, you will profit from it in the end. 

But it's not always easy.  Even if you were 'born to be a writer' - as I believe I was, you still need to learn the concepts, the publishing industry, and understand how to go about finding work.  You also need to be continuously learning and updating your skills. There are millions of other writers out there who have the same end-goal as you, and you'll be competing against many of them. 

So... the first thing you need to do is focus on educating yourself as a writer.  Sign up now for my twice-a-month newsletter, and begin your writer's education. It’s free; costs you nothing, zilch, nada. (Did I mention it’s free?)

The ezine is not over-run with advertisements, and I will not advertise products that I believe are inappropriate, are scams or simply not worth the money. (Practically everything you find on this site has been vetted by me or one of my staff.)

You will find out about...

• Recommended writing resources

• Techniques to gain name recognition

• Free Writing courses

• Specials on writing-related products

• Newly acquired writing courses

• New Articles about Writing

Each issue generally contains two original articles, (we have regular columnists, and their articles are written specifically for this newsletter) plus tips, and resources.

And if you’re really lucky, you get to hear what I’ve been doing since the previous issue. (Hopefully making lots of money using my writing skills!)

When new writing-related products become available, they are offered firstly to subscribers, and wherever possible, a generous discount is offered. Plus, subscribers also receive a substantial discount on the yearly membership to Resources4Writers.com

The Writer to Writer ezine is issued around the 7th and 21st of each month, depending on my deadlines at the time. (Yes, I'm a working writer - earning regular income from my writing - and I want to help you to make money from your writing too!)

As a thank-you for subscribing you will receive a number of valuable gifts on top of my marketing report.  These include Viral Writing, The Idea Virus, books on the 'how and why' of writing ebooks, web copy analysis, marketing, and other useful books for writers. You will also be gifted a copy of Ezy Ezine Ad Formatter (currently selling elsewhere for US$47) which will assist with formatting just about anything. Currently there is well in excess of $250 worth of products for you to download. If you think this is a bribe, think again!  This award-winning ezine has over 4,800 subscribers, growing daily.  The subscriber numbers speak for themselves!! (And many of my subscribers have been with me from day one - around five years.) I use a double opt-in system, so you'll be asked to confirm - this protects both of us.  And you can easily unsubscribe at any time.   Cheryl (To find out more about me, click here.)
