'An Energy Charge for Writing'

What people say about 'Wylie's Writing Tips,' Ann's e-zine

I just got your newsletter and loved it! I have an M.A. in English, have been in PR for about 20 years and have taught writing in grad school, for clients and in workshops. I didn't think I could be surprised or enlightened by a newsletter like this, but I was. Thanks again!

I've been doing this "PR thing" for almost 30 years now and always learn from your e-zine. You see, you can teach a 52-year-old dog new tricks!

One of my jobs is to file copy from the print version of our magazine to our Website. Yesterday, after reading your latest issue, I went back in and re-wrote 12 of the 14 headlines I had written for the online material. Your advice really helped me rethink the process. Thanks a million!

I'd about given up reading tips on writing ... but every time I read your newsletters I find a new nugget of knowledge and come away reinspired. Thank you for doing them!

Every time I receive your "whenever-you-send-it" newsletter, I'm appreciative that something made you reach the conclusion it was time for another issue. As the leader of a small marketing group, I'm not a writer by trade. I always glean solid info and a helpful tip (or 10) from your newsletter. Thanks for what you do, and for clearly having some fun as well, while you do it.

I get so much out of your newsletter! It's always full of practical tips that I can use right away, such as Plumb Design's Visual Thesaurus. I used it the day I received the information! The Art of Storytelling, which we purchased recently, was packed with good ideas, too. Thank you for both.

I love getting e-zine! Always drop everything to read it, then work better, at least for a day or so until I slide back into my old habits.

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I've enjoyed my first two issues of your newsletter. I have more than 13 years of experience in writing and editing, and work in corporate communications in an award-winning department, yet I've found numerous interesting, helpful, and fresh tips in your publication. Keep up the great work!
