“WOO HOO!!”

“… I wanted to let you know how excited I am … Bootcamp has already landed me a paying assignment.” – Caroline M., Wayzata, MN

“I went from a corporate ‘worker bee’ to a freelancer with an income of $60,000 in one year!” Starr D., Middletown, OH

“What I didn't expect was the huge confidence boost I got from seeing real people, no different than me, making it happen … The productive energy level is contagious, and you can't help but come away from it with a plan of action and skills to go with it. This is by far the best investment in myself I've ever made."Steve R., Verona, WI

Are You Ready for Your Big Copywriting Break?


Dear Writer,

Imagine being handed your first paying copywriting job without making a single phone call … Or watching $13,000 in copywriting fees flood into your mailbox this month … Even landing so many clients that you’ve got to start turning work away!

Most copywriters will tell you success like that comes only after years of experience.

Not necessarily.

“I landed my first paid copywriting assignment two months after I attended AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair. Six months later, I had all the work I could handle.”

— Krista J.
Roswell, GA

Even if you’ve never had a paying copywriting job before, even if you aren’t really sure you’re ready to “go for it,” this kind of breakthrough success can be yours in a matter of months. Yes … months.

How do I know? As Conference & Events Director at AWAI, my inbox is overflowing with success stories like these … and it happened just this fast for members exactly like you!

In fact, AWAI member Susan C. told me recently how blessed she feels to spend so much time with her two little boys during the week. While other working moms haul their kids off to a long day at daycare, Susan takes them to preschool and picks them up right after nap. She never has to miss out on those special moments, whether it’s a school music concert or a classroom party. It’s freedom she never could’ve enjoyed when she was working 9-to-5. But today, she’s a freelance health copywriter who sets her own schedule working about 20 hours a week and still earning upwards of $10,000 a month! Yet when we met, she hadn’t even written a letter “for pay” before.

If you ask her, just like so many others, she’ll tell you she owes it all to one single event …

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair

“When I attended my first Bootcamp on September 18th, I really didn’t know what to expect. But I did know one thing … I wanted to be a copywriter. And in just THREE days’, time I was …

“By September 21st, I had my first REAL copywriting project in the health field. By December, my sales letter was in the mail. By the end of January, I had my very first control and a nice paycheck to show for it! And things were about to get even better.

“By February, I received a surprise bonus check for that first control and landed two more paying projects. Within just six months, I had enough work to walk away from my full-time job at a Los Angeles television station and start living the life of a copywriter!”

– Susan C., Hawthorne, CA

In the 14 years I’ve worked with AWAI, I’ve seen the FASTEST successes … the BIGGEST career breakthroughs like Susan’s – without question – happen during Bootcamp or in the days, weeks, and months that follow.

“I don’t often get lucky, but this day was different. A big-name marketer was giving me – a new AWAI-trained copywriter – the opportunity to write for him. He said, ‘Every great copywriter has to start somewhere, and I’m in favor of giving you a chance.’ His gamble paid off – my letter beat the control by 29%. Thanks, AWAI, and your fabulous FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair.”

– Penny T.
Metuchen, NJ

And it’s really no surprise …

Bootcamp is the only place where you’ll find the greatest minds in copywriting and the biggest names in direct marketing together under one roof. That’s a feat in itself, but there’s more …

Every single one of them is there to help you break into the field of copywriting you want to be in … whether it’s Business-to-Business, health, financial, fundraising, self-help, or writing for the Web.

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is like taking an elevator straight up to the writer’s life while everyone else is taking the stairs …

 … AWAI member Krista J. landed her first paid copywriting assignment just two months after attending her first AWAI Bootcamp. Six months later, she had all the work she could handle and soon walked away from an $80,000-a-year job to live the writer’s life …

 … David C. turned in his Spec Assignment after Bootcamp and got his first letter in the mail. Even better, that letter brought him a $10,000 payday, plus royalties 

 … Jeff M. got offered a paying job on the spot at Bootcamp …

And this year, it’s your turn …

I’m Inviting You to Watch Your Copywriting Career Take Off Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible!

“My second Bootcamp was even better than my first! I was offered an assignment on the spot at the Job Fair, and several other prospective clients asked to see my existing samples.”

— Tom T. (“TNT”)
Digital Dynamite, Inc.

If you want to grab the writer’s life with both hands, write better copy than you ever have before, and watch paychecks – even royalty checks – pile into your mailbox, then you can’t miss AWAI’s 2016 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair in Delray Beach, Florida, which takes place October 19-22, 2016.

For three incredible days, you’ll be flooded with fantastic “real world” copywriting techniques from today’s top working copywriters … you’ll get a “behind-the-scenes” look at today’s most in-demand niches … a chance to mingle with marketers who hire writers like you … plus, you’ll get your pick of real assignments that can lead to paying work.

You’ll meet legendary copywriters and marketers like Clayton Makepeace, Dan Kennedy, Nick Usborne, Carline Anglade-Cole, Brian Kurtz, Steve Slaunwhite, and Ben Settle. For AWAI member David H., that’s what made the biggest difference …

“The last three days have been nothing short of amazing. Everything I’ve learned from the Accelerated and Masters Programs is now in razor-sharp clarity. The AWAI staff and speakers – and the Masters themselves – have been so approachable and willing to share what they know. This Bootcamp has given me the motivation I’ve needed to get my copywriting career going. Thank you so much for everything.”

— David H.
Lexington, KY

As soon as you step through the doors on your first day, you’ll discover it too. There’s nothing that helps you speed through the learning curve like hearing the core writing techniques you’ve been reading about from the very Masters who created them …

Alexander Green


Clayton Makepeace is a 44-year direct-response veteran who’s written multimillion-dollar controls for some of the biggest names in the industry. When he speaks, copywriters and marketers listen!

In a typical month, his web-based and email campaigns compel between 60,000 and 90,000 investors to register for and attend online video briefings — with gross sales of as much as $3.6 million in a weekend following these briefings … $5 million in a few weeks … and a staggering $16 million in a single month! All told, his copy has generated well over $1.5 BILLION in sales.

He’s widely regarded as the world’s “highest-paid copywriter” and has received lavish praise from legends in the industry, including Brian Kurtz, Tom Phillips, Gary Bencivenga, Bob Bly, and Drayton Bird.


“Bootcamp has become the seminal event of the year for copywriters.

Not just beginners or intermediate writers, but also for many of the world’s most successful writers.

And not just for writers, but also for the people who HIRE writers.

If you’re serious about your career, you would rather chew off your own arm than miss Bootcamp.”

Clayton Makepeace


Dan S. Kennedy has lived, worked, and prospered as a copywriter for the past 30 years. With average project fees from $50,000 to $150,000 (plus royalties) and well over $1 million per year earned from consulting and copywriting for clients, part-time, Dan is certainly one of the highest-paid copywriters in the world.

For AWAI, he’ll draw on his entire career from start to present, to provide unprecedented insight into Information Marketing and the opportunities it holds for copywriters. He may shock you, may annoy you, will challenge you, and may point you to new opportunity and superior if contrarian personal strategy.


Nick Usborne is a master online copywriter and site optimization expert with over 30 years of experience in the marketing industry.

The first 15 years were devoted to writing direct mail, and the second 15 years have been focused on writing for the Web.

As a copywriter, consultant, and trainer, Nick has worked with hundreds of companies, including Disney, The New York Times, John Deere, Reuters, Citibank, and Encyclopedia Britannica.

He is a widely read columnist, and also the author of the critically acclaimed book on writing for the Web, Net Words: Creating High-Impact Online Copy, published by McGraw-Hill.


“I’m a big fan of using the web and social media to build my freelance business. It’s what I’ve been doing for almost 20 years now. But if I do the math – and I have – I’ve built more business relationships, picked up more clients, and made more money through the one-on-one contacts I have made at live events. It’s always been this way for me, and it’s still just as true each time I go to Bootcamp. I meet people face to face, develop new relationships and attract more work. And it’s not just because I’m a speaker. I see it happening for attendees all the time. The point being, a thousand “virtual” connections will rarely deliver as much value to your business as a single face-to-face encounter with a prospective client or partner.”

Nick Usborne


Carline Anglade-Cole is a copywriter and consultant and owner of Cole Marketing Solutions.

After 12 years in the direct-mail industry working at Phillips Publishing Inc., Carline launched Cole Marketing Solutions, Inc. When she began her solo copywriting freelance career in 1999 — her goal was simple: Make a decent income and have the flexibility and time to raise her four kids with her firefighter husband, Mickey.

Along the way, she managed to create multi-year controls for leading clients in the health industry, including: Health Resources, True Health, Healthy Directions, Boardroom, Biscayne Labs, and NeoGenis … got a shot at launching Oprah’s “O Magazine” in the direct-mail arena … and was honored as AWAI’s 2015 Copywriter of Year – the “Academy Awards” of the direct mail industry!


“Two big hurdles most aspiring copywriters face:

  1. Getting known in the industry!
  2. Finding clients who want to pay!

Bootcamp is the only place I know where you can talk with … hang out with … and NETWORK with real working copywriters in your industry. That connection alone is PRICELESS – but …

 … Bootcamp also brings the clients to you! You get face-to-face time with the movers and shakers in the direct mail biz! You get to know them – and more importantly – they’ve got REAL job assignments they can offer you on the spot! That opportunity alone can launch your career!

So, if you’re serious – REALLY serious about turning your copywriting dreams into reality – get your butt to Bootcamp!”

Carline Anglade-Cole


Brian Kurtz is a serial direct marketer. After 34 years of helping Boardroom Inc. become one of the leading companies and voices in publishing and direct marketing, Brian is now a leading voice in our industry as the Founder of “Titans Marketing LLC.”

  • At Boardroom, Brian was responsible for mailing of close to 2 billion pieces of direct mail in his career.
  • Under Brian's marketing leadership and during his tenure, Boardroom’s revenues went from approximately $5 million (in 1981) to a high of over $150 million (in 2006).
  • What makes him such a skilled marketer? His passion for constant learning and uncovering what works and what doesn’t in the current marketplace. Brian’s philosophy: If he’s the “smartest” guy in a room full of marketers, he’s in the wrong room!

“Spending 35 years in the direct marketing wars has taught me a lot … but one of the biggest lessons is that taking short cuts with copy and creative is a prescription for disaster.

Thank goodness for AWAI Bootcamp … the best place on the planet for copywriters to hone their craft and where they can learn all about what marketers want … and need.

When AWAI asks me to participate in Bootcamp, they always have me at hello … and I am honored to be speaking once again in 2016 for the third time on one of my favorite stages.

Being committed to teaching the eternal truths of direct response marketing to the next generation of marketers and copywriters is my mission for my second 35 year career … and there is no better place for me to teach, learn and grow than at AWAI Bootcamp.”

Brian Kurtz


Steve Slaunwhite is an award-winning marketing consultant who loves to teach as much as he loves to consult. His specialty is helping small business owners and people in professional practice get more clients, more easily. He does that through his consulting and copywriting services, his workshops and keynotes, and his many books. He’s been a Business-to-Business (B2B) expert for more than 15 years.

Steve is also a respected copywriting trainer. In addition to leading workshops for AWAI, he has taught marketers at such leading companies as Sage Software, The Scheduling Institute, and the Canadian Postal Service how to write effective marketing copy, quickly and easily.


“I’ve personally met attendees who were complete newbies to copywriting and then, years later, met them again and they were highly-successful copywriters. That speaks volumes for the Bootcamp. It’s transformative. There’s no other event that even comes close to it in the industry.”

Steve Slaunwhite


Ben Settle has written ads, created email campaigns, and cooked up marketing strategies for clients who have collectively earned tens of millions of dollars in sales over the past 14 years in hyper-competitive, “cutthroat” markets such as golf, weight loss, business opportunity, self-defense, dating, home business, and Internet marketing.

Ben’s methods also get rave reviews from top “A-list” copywriters and marketers, including:

  • Brian Kurtz, who said of all the people he follows, Ben’s stuff is as good as it gets.
  • Bob Bly, who says Ben’s emails are “stunningly effective.”
  • Richard Armstrong, who says he starts his day reading the Bible and Ben’s email (and not necessarily in that order).

In addition, Ben has taught the methods he’s pioneered to some of the world’s most prestigious direct-marketing companies including Agora Financial … professional radio producers at Entercom, the annual Oceans 4 Mastermind — where businesses pay him to put their emails on the “hot seat” — transforming their sales overnight. Ben also publishes “Email Players,” a print newsletter that costs $97 per month and is read by people in over 30 countries.


You’ll also be hearing from some of our long-standing, highly acclaimed Bootcamp favorites and master instructors, including Jennifer Stevens, Will Newman, Pam Foster, Lori Haller, Katie Yeakle, and Rebecca Matter.

Each of these speakers brings something special to the event for you – and because this event is unlike any other in our industry, they understand that Bootcamp is not just a presentation platform. They come ready, willing, and able to help you make a leap forward with your copywriting plans. They are open and available to you throughout the event – not just in their session – and many of them can be found sharing tips and advice nonstop from the first day of Bootcamp to the last.

And that’s not even the entire line-up!

Sure, AWAI’s basic copywriting program has all the information you need (and more) to land your first copywriting job, start writing winning letters, and change your life. Still, building your confidence and learning the “ins and outs” of the business can take years. But there’s an easier way …

Heard of Roy Furr? He’s one of your fellow AWAI members … a copywriter who’s in high demand. He climbed the ladder at lightning speed using what he learned during three short days at Bootcamp …

“AWAI Bootcamps have been hugely transformational for me. The quality of these resources and how they’ve changed my thinking has been a source of nonstop inspiration and growth in my career.  I have not found any group of teachers that both know what they’re doing and are as dedicated to student success as the people at AWAI. Everyone exists to see you succeed in copywriting. When you win, they win. Bootcamps are also an incredible opportunity to connect with new clients. Three months after I went to my first Bootcamp, I had enough clients to leave my full-time job.”

– Roy F., Lincoln, NE

The thing is, reaching that higher level of success – where you can pick your clients, name your price and enjoy royalty checks in the thousands of dollars – is happening for brand-new writers because of Bootcamp. And this year …

You Will Learn How to “Wow” Clients Into Paying You Top Dollar …

Each day, you’ll move from session to session with Master Copywriters and marketers, absorbing their decades of experience like a sponge. You’ll hear how top writers get clients and negotiate fees and royalties – all of the little secrets that can make a big difference in pushing your income into six-figure territory. It happened for Joshua Boswell.

At his very first Bootcamp Job Fair, he landed FOUR brand-new clients and FIVE new assignments. His income since then has gone through the roof.

Of course the real “wow” factor is the caliber of copy these writers produce. They’re winning control after control while writing only a few hours a day! And you’ll discover exactly how they do it. These Bootcamp speakers are working pros who will step you through their writing techniques with true-life examples. You’ll find out many new secrets too. Like how to write more in less time …

And while your bank account grows, so does your free time. And that means more hours to spend enjoying your life with family and friends – just like AWAI member Melia C. …

She recently sent me a note from Tortola, British Virgin Islands. She’s spending three months there before heading to Paris. Talk about living the writer’s life! And she credits Bootcamp with giving her the skills and the confidence to succeed …

“My main concern entering Bootcamp (and I know I wasn’t alone in this) was self-promotion. I was a good writer before Bootcamp, but a D- self-promoter. Now, I can confidently say I am a great writer and a grade-A self-promoter. The self-confidence I have now to market my services will be invaluable to my copywriting career. So, thank you, each one of you, so much. Bootcamp exceeded my (very high) expectations.

– Melia C., Charlottesville, VA

You’ll Discover How to Crack Niche Markets, From Health to Financial to Self-Help … and Earn Money Writing About What You Love

“One of the best things about going to the conference is meeting smart, creative people and being able to spend time with some of the brightest minds in the business. The after-hour discussions in the bar, dinner out with a group of other attendees, and the breakfasts are as valuable as the regular sessions. It’s a great way to meet new friends and new contacts!”

— Brad M.
Salt Lake City, UT

One of the best ways to become “in demand” fast and increase your chances of higher fees and royalties is to specialize. However, unless you’ve already got inside connections in the health, financial, fundraising, or self-help markets, you’ll spend months trying to figure out the intricacies of each one. And that’s another reason why Bootcamp is such an incredible opportunity for new writers like you.

Earlier you heard how Susan C. landed her first health control right after Bootcamp. Well, here’s something she didn’t mention …

She told me that if she had been handed that very same project before Bootcamp, she’s not sure she could have pulled it off. You see, she had studied the principles of writing, but didn’t have an ounce of experience with nutritional supplements.

At the Bootcamp Job Fair, she got to talk with health marketers like Jenny Thompson from NewMarket Health. And suddenly she realized the specific emotional hot buttons nutritional supplement copy has to push to make a sale. In other words, she learned important secrets that won her that control.

At this year’s Bootcamp, we’re offering even more niche market writing insights … from master marketers who will be attending Job Fair as well.

AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is the only place I know of where you can go from being “green” to being confident in every word you write virtually overnight! And when it comes to landing your first paying project, you won’t have to look far …

You’ll Meet Marketing Directors From Major Companies Who Are in Dire Need of Copywriters Like You

I completed a Spec Assignment from Job Fair 2014 to land a project with my all-time dream client and direct-mail giant, Boardroom, Inc. I got to work with A-list copywriters Marcella Allison and Richard Armstrong. It was a life- and career-changing experience that I’d dreamed about for years … and it’s all thanks to Job Fair!

— Rae R.
Wellington, CO

We’re always searching for new ways to make it easier for you to find clients. Especially good clients who offer steady, high-paying work that interests you. Up until now, you may have responded to ads on DirectResponseJobs.com, or sent out promotional letters.

While there’s nothing wrong with this approach, and it has certainly worked for many AWAI members, just imagine how much faster and easier it will be to meet the people who want to hire you face to face.

At Job Fair, you’ll get the exceptional opportunity to do just that …

We’re gathering marketing representatives from dozens of companies – including some brand-new names. They’re all looking for fresh talent in health, financial, information products, Internet marketing, and more. You’ll get the chance to talk with them and learn about their businesses. And it’s only the beginning of the opportunity …

Many of these marketers will be handing you what other copywriters have to sweat for – real live copywriting assignments!

That’s right, you’ll leave with actual copywriting assignments on spec for major marketers like … Boardroom Inc. … Newsmax Media … MoneyWeek … International Living … Stansberry & Associates … Weiss Research … The Institute for Natural Healing … Sovereign Society … and many more!

Just One of These Spec Assignments Can Lead to Dozens of High-Paying Copywriting Jobs

If you’ve been waiting for your big break, this could be the project that sets your career in motion. Like I said earlier, in the days, weeks, and months that follow Bootcamp, my inbox fills up with letters from excited members who are reporting their incredible successes. It’s one of my favorite times of year, because I get letters like this one from Susan N. in Key Largo, Florida …

“Just like everybody, I wondered if it would do me any good to go to Bootcamp. Could I really get a job from a job fair? It wasn’t easy to go into a group of people I didn’t know, but everyone at AWAI is very friendly. And turns out, it paid for itself many thousands of times over. I gained two clients from submitting my first Bootcamp assignments.”

And Susie H. from Shakopee, Minnesota, wanted me to share this note with you …

“I did walk away with a paid assignment. Networking happens, whether you consciously do it or not. Let it take you where it will, because you’ll be thrilled when it does. And, when you get home and the phone rings the next day with another paid assignment, you can grin, make the deal, then hang up and scream and jump for joy. Go ahead. Expect it all. It happens.”

This year I hope to be hearing from you!

I’ve made it my personal mission to make sure you’ll find more opportunity to launch your six-figure copywriting career at this year’s Bootcamp than ever before. And most important, that you’re fully prepared to reach out and grab it!

So, Why Not Join Us This October in One of the Nation’s Most Beautiful Places?

AWAI’s 2016 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair is being held on Florida’s Gold Coast, at the Delray Beach Marriott. It’s a stone’s throw from a gorgeous white sand beach and the warm, clear waters that have made Florida famous. Wake up in the morning and the first thing you’ll smell is fresh ocean air.

The beach is wonderful, but what you’ll really like is our city. The hotel’s just a few blocks from downtown Delray Beach where you’ll find sidewalk cafes, antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, jazz clubs, and lots of shopping, too. With temperatures in the mid-70s, October is one of the best times to be out and about.

You Never Know Who You’ll Meet Or How They’ll Help Change Your Life

Just when you think we can’t pack any more valuable information, quality job leads, or powerful motivation into this year’s Bootcamp, there’s something else that happens to transform you from novice into professional copywriter. It has nothing to do with writing or even listening to so many top copywriters … instead, it’s about getting to know them.

Bootcamp is also a chance to strengthen relationships, make new contacts, and build friendships. One highlight for me was watching the Space Shuttle lift off while wading in a moonlit ocean along with a group of friends – old and new.”

– Chris A., Ontario, Canada

During session breaks, you might get the chance to chat with Clayton Makepeace or Nick Usborne about copywriting or just life in general. Or you may bump into Jen Stevens or Steve Slaunwhite at one of the breakfasts, luncheons, or cocktail parties. Maybe you’ll even have a cocktail with Brian Kurtz or AWAI Co-Founder Paul Hollingshead – they’ll be around!

And you’ll be amazed at what you can discover. Not just about writing either, but about travel, food, wine, music, kids – you name it. Suddenly you see they’re all regular people just like you. And you realize if THEY can do it … well, so can you.

Now you know why even established copywriters are taking the time out of their busy schedules to make the trip to AWAI’s 2016 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp. And why dozens of past attendees keep coming back year after year.

In just three short days, Bootcamp can rocket launch your copywriting career just like it has for so many other AWAI members …

  • You’ll meet top marketers at Job Fair who are ready to hire copywriters like you. They’re all looking for new writers, and one of their Spec Assignments could be your career-launching control … just as it did for AWAIer Penny T. from Metuchen, NJ.
  • You’ll strengthen your core copywriting skills with the very Masters who developed these winning techniques. There’s nothing like hearing how to craft a lead from Jen Stevens. Or listening to Will Newman talk about using benefits in your copy. You see a light bulb blink on in your head, and your words come more easily – and so do the paychecks!
  • You’ll learn how to promote yourself. Discover exactly what to do to start enjoying steady work … where to find clients, how to land them, and how to sell yourself so your phone starts ringing off the hook.
  • You’ll discover the secrets of writing for your favorite niche. Find out what’s working right now in health, financial, B2B, Web, information products, and self-help … You’ll get proven creative strategies and research techniques from leading copywriters in your favorite field!
  • You’ll enjoy networking events, cocktail parties, and more. There are breakfasts, luncheons, and cocktail parties where you’ll get to know the Master Copywriters you’ve heard so much about, along with big-time marketers, AWAI team members, and other Bootcampers. You’ll leave with a power network of friends and supporters you can rely on for advice, encouragement, and feedback for years to come!

If you want to start living the writer’s life and watch those paychecks – even five-figure royalties – roll into your mailbox sooner rather than later, then I urge you to join me October 19-22 in Delray Beach, Florida, for AWAI’s 2016 FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair.

“If you seriously want to turn your writing dreams into reality … and you don’t want to wait an entire lifetime … I strongly suggest you attend the AWAI Bootcamp this fall in Delray Beach, Florida.

“I’ve attended the last two Bootcamps … and each time I’ve walked away with a new direct-response client.

“So if you’re sitting on the fence wondering if this event could really boost your freelance career – I urge you to see for yourself just how powerful it is!”

– Bob R., Newtown, PA

It’s the only place where you can jump-start your career in a matter of days, plus you’ll walk away with the best secrets of some of the biggest names in the direct-response industry. It’s why you’ll find that today’s top companies aren’t just hiring Bootcamp copywriters, they’re also using AWAI’s FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp and Job Fair as a training ground for their own in-house staff writers!

And Here’s Another Reason to Hurry and Reserve Your Spot …

Last year, all the spots were sold out long before the Early-Bird Discount ended. And with all of the incredible new resources we’re adding to the schedule, I suspect the same thing might happen again this year. Half of the seats are already sold as of today!

So if you’re serious about leaving your “day job” in the dust for the writer’s life, then make the decision that can launch your copywriting career with light-speed!

Give Member Services a call right away and let them know you’re ready to put yourself on the FastTrack to Copywriting Success. Just call our member support team at toll-free 866-879-2924 today, or click below to register.

I hope to see you there. But most of all, I look forward to hearing your success story in the months to come!

“Without the relationship with AWAI and Job Fair at Bootcamp, I couldn’t have gotten in front of contacts as easily. Those clients paved the way for hundreds of thousands of dollars of work.”

Sean McCool, Chattanooga, TN


“When I went to Bootcamp, it was like a rocket. I literally took off in this business and have not slowed down at all.”

— Steve Coombes, Nashua, NH


“I had a wonderful time at Bootcamp. What impressed me the most was how personable the AWAI staff and speakers were. Though they were busy, they would always take a moment to answer any questions posed by novice Bootcampers, like me. After dealing with my day job for the last week, I'm getting ready to jump into some of the Spec Assignments. I cannot thank you enough!”

— Cassandra H., Mobile, AL


“To any fence-sitters out there: If you're debating the merits of attending AWAI's Bootcamp, sign up right now. It was, without doubt, the turning point of my graphics/writing career and worth every penny. I met my mentor there. And I made lifetime, quality contacts with both attendees and staff.”

— Cherie R., Ft. Myers, FL


“Wow. I came home from Bootcamp with so much material that I am just starting to catch up. AWAI did a great job with this Bootcamp. I couldn't be happier with the staff and the sincere desire everyone at AWAI has to make us all successful.”

— Michael L., Waxhaw, NC


“By mid-day on day one, I had already gotten my money's worth. The breadth of the material presented was amazing. I was (and continue to be) blown away by the openness, friendliness, and complete availability that the presenters and staff constantly displayed. Where in the world did you find so many experts who are such great teachers and great people?”

— Robert A., Mechanicsville, VA


“That first AWAI Bootcamp launched me – getting help from master copywriters as I started writing my own samples. This stuff works. I wouldn’t be a copywriter if not for AWAI.”

Peter Fogel, Delray Beach, FL

What The Experts Have to Say About Bootcamp…

“I enjoy coming back to Bootcamp each year not only because it’s enjoyable to chat with some of the world’s most successful and well-respected copywriters but because I always learn something I can take back to my desk with me and apply immediately. This is a program that works for writers at all levels I think, delivering equal parts inspiration, philosophy, and practical advice. It’s like taking a little dose of copywriting juju—I always leave excited to sit down to my next project because I know it’ll be charmed.”

Jen Stevens


“Giving, sharing and life changing connections … All of these things are what AWAI Bootcamp means to me each year.

The experts of our industry take the time to give you the tools of success. They are right there by your side, every step of the way.

I am honored to be a part of this amazing journey. I love watching as attendees make choices and move forward with a very solid plan for success!”

Lori Haller


“I can’t wait to be back at Bootcamp this year! It’s always such an inspiring event with the feel of a homecoming!”

Ilise Benun


“Bootcamp is an environment of inspiration and encouragement coupled with the brass tacks of building a business out of a dream. If you really want to become a professional writer this is the place to get started or to renew one's self. The people, the information, and the networking are part of what makes Bootcamp invaluable.”

Annette Annechild


“I don’t like leaving my ‘cave’ — what I call my home town — in the mountains of northern California. I only enjoy leave for two reasons: To visit family and to go to Bootcamp. (And family, not so much.) I’d rather they visit me!)

I love Bootcamp because after attending 10 times and after 20 years of copywriting, I always learn something new. Always! Like last year Mike Palmer’s presentation about the secret psychology of successful copywriting was a real eye-opener for me. (And I’ve already written about it twice in the articles I write for AWAI.) Or Carline Angled-Cole’s presentation on the Big Idea. She’s not only a hugely successful copywriter, she’s an entertaining and personable presenter.

But what I love most about Bootcamp are the people. I love being able to chat with members at Bootcamp. I love knowing that my words may encourage them. Or concepts we discuss may help clear up uncertainties. Or … well, leaving my cave is made worthwhile by the spending time with old friends and new at Bootcamp.”

Will Newman


“This will be my 12th Bootcamp attendance! I can’t imagine NOT being at Bootcamp. It’s the one place each year for copywriters at all levels to connect with fellow copywriters, amazing speakers, the AWAI staff, and most importantly, potential clients at the Job Fair. To me, it’s one big colleague reunion where we support each other, learn the latest insights and get to hang out with others who get what we do!”
