A sincere message from Rob Parnell

Dear Fellow Writer,

It's been a long time since I put together a new dedicated writing course - about a year, truth be told.

During that time I've been hectic - busy with lots of artistic projects, filling my time with fun, compelling and meaningful creative activities. You may be aware of some of them!

I've been writing and publishing more courses, self-help resources, music albums for iTunes, and novels; compiling a book of short stories (now on Amazon in paperback), even making a web series for writers and, in between all that, writing, directing and producing a movie thriller, now syndicated through Vimeo and Amazon VOD.

This last year has been a wild time and I'm grateful for a world - and a lifestyle - that has blessed me with these opportunities for growth and satisfaction.

But as you know, my (actually your) Academy website has been my primary focus.

And... I've been listening hard to Writing Academy students and compiling a list of things that you have asked me to explore and offer guidance on, should I ever get around to writing another masterclass.

Well, that time has arrived.

The result being that I've now created this brand new course JUST FOR YOU!

Writers Need a Bible

For a long time now, I've wondered what aspiring professional writers might need.

I decided that some kind of virtual all encompassing Writing Bible would be ideal.

In this new course, that's what I believe I have created.

The transition from amateur writer to professional wordsmith is a road fraught with major considerations. I know myself that when I started out, there were many pertinent questions I could find no answers to.

Facts about what to expect, guidance on what to do, advice on how best to proceed - these were the issues I needed answers for - but they simply could not be found in any of the writing books I purchased (and, believe me, I bought a lot!)

Now, there are books on technique aplenty, books on genre and many of the more technical aspects of writing.

But what I would have loved when I started out on this magical road was a thoroughly practical guide to how to achieve success as a writer from an experienced expert who had reached a position I wanted to emulate.

Now, fifteen years later, I believe I have written just such a book for you, the aspiring professional, in the form of this latest course of instruction.

Why You Need Write From The Start

In Write From the Start I assume that, like me in the past, you're itching to make a living from your passion but you know there are a thousand considerations you need to deal with in the transition from wannabe to full time writer.

Not just practical issues but also personal and emotional ones too.

Issues like: "Do I write often enough to consider myself a writer?"

And: "Do I really have what it takes to succeed as a writer?"

And: "How do I improve my writing quickly?"

And: "What can I actually do - right now - to get me on the road to writing success?"

These are the kind of questions you won't find answered in other
writing books - for the simple reason that most writing books
are not written by authors with any tangible success.

How can you take the advice of an author unless they can prove they are right?

That's why, when you're looking for good, well tested writing advice, you should go to an expert - a mentor with credibility. One who is actually an author who sells countless books to the public and has made a sizable income doing so.

In a word, me!

Over the last decade my partner and I have sold over three and a half million books (both fiction and non fiction) and writing courses worldwide - online and offline. We're literally bestselling authors in a very real sense. So we must be doing something right.

And I must know a thing or two about writing!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to brag.

Far from it.

I'm simply trying to reassure you that Write From the Start is exactly what you need, right now, if you have any kind of desire to write and see your books in print and/or earn a good living from your writing.

Nobody is Born With a Back Catalog

It's easy to get intimidated these days.

Everywhere you look there are authors with ten or fifteen books to their name, all vying for the grail - a bestseller. Or least a book that will make retirement more comfortable!

Sometimes it seems like everyone got the bus when you were still finishing breakfast...

But the fact is it's never too late to start, no matter how little you have to show for your writing efforts.

Fourteen years ago, all I had to show for a lifetime of writing was a few (bad) screenplays, a dozen short stories (not too bad) and a half finished novel - and all of that was later lost in a computer crash!

At the time I couldn't have imagined the overwhelming amount I've written since.

What's In Write From The Start?

Here's a sampling of just some what you'll learn in this unique course:

But not only that, as I also write and publish offline, there's plenty of advice on how that works - and what strategies to employ if you want offline success with traditional publishers too.

After all, nobody said you had to do one thing OR the other. Modern writers do it all!

Come - join me on a voyage of discovery.

And change your life in the process.

Write From the Start from Rob Parnell

"If you want to achieve real success as an author,

publish your books online and create bestsellers -

get paid HUGE royalties - and do it all for FREE - then

this is the writing resource you need right now!"

Dear Fellow Author,

Did you know that self-published authors are the fastest growing group of new MILLIONAIRES?

Did you know that self-published Amazon e-books now OUTSELL traditional publishers' books?

Yep - this is REALLY HAPPENING - right now!

If you're still fantasizing about one day getting picked up by a traditional publisher, you've really got to get your head out of the sand. Listen up to this important message from me, Rob Parnell, "the world's foremost writing guru", because THIS PAGE is hugely important to your future. Once upon a time, there were three distinct groups when it came to people trying to write for a living. One, the writer; two, the publisher; and three, the reader. Traditional publishers have clung tooth and nail to this old hierarchy - getting in the way of the writer and reader - to maintain the status quo. And why wouldn't they? They've made billions of dollars since the time of Charles Dickens from this arbitrary - and basically unfair - arrangement. Then, along came the Internet... Now, authors of all types can sell their books and novels direct to readers - without having to lose up to 90% of their earnings - not to mention their rights - and enjoy all the riches and pleasures and perks that come from being a well paid, well respected and successful author.But wait... Are you still locked in the dream, clinging to the fantasy of 'getting a publishing deal' with The Big Five? When are you going to finally wake up? Join the 21st century and start taking control of your writing career. Because, without traditional publishers getting in the way, this is what you can finally have: A real bona fide writing career!  A well-paid career that you want, that you define and design, doing what you want, when you want to do it! A couple of months back I released a writing course called "Write From the Start", a 'bible' of sorts for aspiring writers that gave guidance on how to go about organizing and structuring a writing career. It was basically about writing books for publication. The course was well received - but it stopped just short of answering the question: 'What happens when I'm writing full time'? I stopped there because self-publishing online requires a whole new course! Many writers have contacted me since that course and asked: "How do I self-publish with Amazon Kindle - and other online bookstores - to make money?" They ask questions like: * What is the process of reputable publishing online? * How do I navigate my way around Amazon Kindle (Mobi) and various other online formats?  * How do Amazon, CreateSpace, Kobo, Smashwords, Goodreads etc., actually work? * How can an unknown writer possibly compete - and sell lots of books and or novels? * Most of all: what can I do to make my Amazon or Kindle book a bestseller? In answer to these important questions, I have constructed what I believe is my best course yet! Let's face facts. There's little point spending your time writing unless you want to be read - and for people to actually buy your books. It used to be that 99.99% of all writers were essentially prevented from ever experiencing this reality by publishers who - basically - got in our way.Now, because of the Internet and especially because of Amazon.com, all that has changed - and you can go from amateur writer to well paid best-selling author, literally OVERNIGHT - and never have to submit your soul to a traditional publisher EVER AGAIN! Let me help you navigate your way through publishing and promoting your novels and books online! Here's what we'll be covering together in my brand new writing course: Introduction to "Write To The Top" In this first module, I outline your options as an author in the 21st century. Should you try to get a deal with The Big Five publishers? Or should you aim your sights at a smaller traditional publisher? I examine the pros and cons and explain why self-publishing online is the only sure-fire way to ensure your success as an independent author. I explain the pitfalls of vanity publishing, literary agents and the whole publishing world from your perspective. I give examples of how you can only win - monetarily speaking - when you take the plunge and self-publish your own novels and books. And how you can do that - immediately - for no money down! Module One - Step One on the Road to Success  In this module, I explain the concepts behind my Online Author Wheel of Fortune - and the reasons why you must complete crucial steps in the right order to ensure success. We look at setting up a blog and/or a website, gaining - and keeping - subscribers and fans for your writing, how to conduct effective social marketing through Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and Google+ and how to make best possible use of your time online - so you don't have to spend more than half an hour a day 'working' - leaving you free to do what you hopefully love best: that is, of course, writing. Module Two - Step Two on the Wheel of Fortune Research consistently proves that those authors who exceed expectations know exactly what they're doing when it comes to selling their books online. Fiction authors especially need a solid grounding in how readers interact with authors and their books. In this revelatory module, I'll show you what you need to do in order to guarantee writing success online with Amazon Kindle, Kobo, etc., and all the social networking sites. It's not about knowing everything - and it's not about tweeting like a fool all day. It's about choosing the right strategies that work; and keeping the writing, publishing, and promotion process as streamlined as possible. I will help you navigate this brave new world of independent authoring with easy-to-follow guidance that works. Module Three - Step Three on the Writing You can't just publish the first thing you knock out. It's more sophisticated than that. For a very long time, traditional publishers have used a 'secret' process that ensures only quality work from authors is published, thereby ensuring decent book sales and good reviews. In this module, I show you how to emulate that pursuit of quality. Plus, I reveal how you go about editing, formatting for online publication (pdf, mobi & ipub) and other important aspects like cover design, handling illustrations, writing effective blurbs, author bios, acquiring reviews and generally creating the most professional product you can. This part of the process is fundamental to your credibility and eventual success. Module Four - Step Four on Promotion Again, there's a lot you could do when it comes to online promotion - but how much of it will be effective? It's important you don't spread yourself too thin on activities that yield minimal results. In this module I show you how to create respectable book sales on Amazon, Google Play, Apple's App Store and through your own blog or website using promotion to fans, momentum (the Phoenix Effect), word of mouth, affiliates, payment processors and the like. I'll also explain how Amazon's software works - keywords, blurbs, algorithms, matrices, pairing, ranking etc - and how you can use this system to your benefit. Throughout this course, you're sure to be entertained and enlightened. I use real world examples of author's successes and show you the strategies that work - every time.At the end of this course, you will be in a prime position to make your writing dreams, whatever they are, a doable reality.Read and absorb this course and you will be standing at the starting gates of a whole new career as a successful and well paid independent author.I guarantee it! Okay! If you're not already convinced this course will help your writing and self-publishing career more than any other resource, here's something extra to tempt you...

"For the First Time in History, the World Belongs to Writers... TO YOU!" How about a world like this... * No more groveling to agents and publishers! * No more endless rejections - and putting your life on hold till you (inevitably) get them! * No more changing your manuscripts just because some annoying editor or agent says so! * No more waiting around until some kind of writing success happens to come to you - or perhaps never does... Listen, there's no need to wait around anymore, no need to get messed around either, because: Now,YOU are In Control - and the World is Your Oyster! And this is how it works:  Write it - make it the best that it can be - and get it out there!  Then - let your readers make you rich and famous! Do You Have the Write Stuff? Can you write? Can you occupy yourself from home? Do you want to? Of course you do! Becoming a successful writer is easy in the 21st Century - and you don't have to wait to be 'discovered' or 'recognized' or 'accepted' - these are all completely outdated notions that have no place in your present vocabulary! Now YOU call the shots. YOU make your own plans for the future. And - YOU get exactly what you want. The perfect writer's life, the gigs only you truly desire and all the joy-filled hours in the day to make all your writing dreams come true. Probably for the first time in history, authors can take control of their careers - and become wealthy and successful enough to look after themselves and their families - without having to sign away their lives to publishers or be prey to the whims of publishers, editors, literary agents, and other freelance writer pariahs. The 21st century has changed all that. There is now more demand for what writers can do than ever before. Which is why you can live and support yourself easily through your writing - especially if you've got The Write Stuff! It's as simple as ONE TWO THREE: WRITE, EDIT, PUBLISH - and launch your own writing career. Be in total control and STAY in control. And I'm NOT talking about all those types of writing you might dread: * NOT just Copyrighting * NOT just Article Writing * NOT just Ghost Writing or Travel Writing * In fact, NOT ANY KIND OF WRITING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO! On any given day you can write whatever you want: fiction in your chosen genre (Thrillers, Romance, Fantasy, SF, Literary, you name it), self help, your autobiography, non fiction books, commentary, short stories, articles, blogs, even just writing messages on social networks, YOU CHOOSE what you want to do, all of the time! If you just want to write NOVELS - that's absolutely fine. If you just want to write SHORT STORIES - that's absolutely okay If you just want to write SELF HELP BOOKS - that's totally cool too It's Your Choice You can still make a living and have fun writing whatever you want. You have no-one to impress or pander to but yourself. Mega-selling books, totally passive income, your words seen and acknowledged worldwide, movie and TV deals, the perfect lifestyle, riches, it's all yours for the taking - and no-one's standing in your way! Only one question... Do You Have The Write Stuff? Sure you do - if you can write and edit, then you can do it all - and never pay a dime to anyone but yourself. The world has changed. Now writers are in control of their destiny. The recent phenomenal success (and we're talking just in the last couple of years here) of a new breed of million-selling authors without publishers proves two main things: 1. Readers prefer authors who don't pander to publisher's whims 2. Publishers don't really know what they're doing (as we always suspected) Fact is, mainstream publishers have for a couple of centuries survived on luck rather than good judgment - because getting good authors at the right time has always been a numbers game. It's why they consistently reject your work - and publish stuff you'd be embarrassed to write! It's got nothing to do with publishers knowing anything about good writing or good storytelling - it's the public who decides that - as they always have. Did you know that when publishers first signed up writers like Charles Dickens they paid 90% of the book sale price to the writer? It's true! What happened? Well, publishers - like all corporate monsters - got greedy because they had to pay for all the duff authors they signed up to fill their lists (as they still do!) And why do they sign up authors that don't sell books? Basically, because they don't know what they were doing... Let's hear from some great writers on publishers. "Your publisher is that imbecile who stands between you and your public, and lines his pockets with your just rewards." George Bernard Shaw - 1917 "I don't expect publishers to be entirely literary - but an interest in books and writers might be nice." Peter Ackroyd - 1986 "Thank Christ we don't need publishers anymore!" Anthony Horowitz - 2012 I suppose it's easy for writers to be dismissive of traditional publishers - especially these days when their numbers are dwindling fast. But I ask you, who really knows more about writing than a writer? When it comes to books, surely it's only authors who really know what they're doing... When a writer puts together a book or novel, he/she does it because they believe it will sell - that it's commercial and has a market... And if you do that - and believe it - why on Earth would you respect a publisher who rejected it! Why feel crushed? Just get your work out there and prove them wrong! Writers do all the work so... writers should be the ones getting the money! And now we can! The modern world has given us the means and the technology to do it all ourselves. The problem has been for years that writers have not had any control over the production and distribution of their work. But now - all that has changed. Forever. Now the control has come back to the author - where it should be. Fact is, if you've got the courage to put your words out there under your own steam then you've got THE WRITE STUFF. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Only YOU are holding yourself back. All you need to do is make one small shift in your mindset and you can immediately become a self employed writer - just like you always dreamed of being. The door is open - are you ready to walk through? Come on, take my hand and I'll be there - to show you how you too can have: THE WRITE STUFF! Now available in one handy, info-packed personal classroom, where I will teach you how to take hold of your life and become the successful working writer you always dreamed of being!
