New Site Helps Writers Sell More, Earn More

(PRWEB) February 18, 2004 --The new Pro Write: Professional Writing Secrets site at http://www.prowrite.biz/ was developed by professional writer Angela Booth, and Web site designer Birgitt Thursby, to help writers to diversify in order to build successful writing careers.

Designed as a fun, interactive training site, Pro Write provides an on-going series of practical workshops, and also helps writers to build their self-esteem and creativity. Booth said: "Most writers underestimate their own abilities. If you can write in one area, you can write in another. With each new experience, a writer's self-esteem grows, it's inevitable. I want to inspire and motivate each writer, so that at the end of a workshop --- in writing personal essays perhaps, or in writing a novel --- she'll say: I can do that! And she will know that she can."

Why do writers need to diversify? Because writers are earning much less now than they did forty years ago. The National Writers Union says: "In real dollars, freelance rates have declined by more than 50 percent since the 1960s".

This means that writers need to be daring and confident, and to realize that they CAN build great careers says Booth. She's been writing professionally for over a quarter of a century. "Pay rates at magazines and newspapers are low, so writers who thrive need to write a wide range of material. The problem is that many writers get stuck in a rut. They don't realize that they can write in many different fields, and that writing in a new area doesn't take much adjustment. Writing skills are transferable. At Pro Write, we're dedicated to helping writers explore their talents, and to treating their writing as an exciting well-paid adventure."

Birgitt Thursby says that Pro Write's concept is unique. "As far as I know, there's nothing else like it online. It's different --- and exciting. Anyone can learn how to write more effectively in more areas."
