"It's Now 2024 - and the Rules Have Changed - Scratch That - THERE ARE NO RULES!

"For the First Time in History, the World Belongs to Writers... TO YOU!"

Rob Parnell here, from inside The Writing Academy

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21st Century - and you don't have to wait to be 'discovered' or 'recognized' or 'accepted' - these are all completely outdated notions that have no place in your present vocabulary!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:
