Any copywriters out there?

Steve,

You've almost got it - ;)

However, there will be *no* "how to write salescopy" bit by me or by anyone else. The book is not about that.

Readers may choose to learn from those contributing copywriters who run courses on the same.

See other posts in this thread for more info.

Thanks for your interest.

Darren Andrews.
