THE Secrets To Becoming A Successful Writer?
How Do You Avoid The Pitfalls That Keep Most Writers From Achieving Success?
Listen to a best-selling and award-winning writer's answer to this question:
“If only I'd had a roadmap like this one when I began writing! Andrea's book leads you through the whole process of developing your writing skills. It starts with being clear about your focus and your mindset and takes you through the process of honing your skills. It provides two excellent tools for improving your writing by practicing as little as a few minutes a day. It takes you through the process of learning to write with emotion, learning to use details to make your writing rich and engaging, and learning to write in a way that grabs and holds readers, including editors and agents.
“The book closes with examples of successful queries and proposals so you'll know how to submit the great writing you're going to be able to do after you follow this roadmap. To get the information included in this system, you'd have to buy at least three or four books on writing. It took me a long time to glean the wisdom that Andrea is sharing in this one system.
“Save yourself a lot of time and trial and error by following Andrea's roadmap. You'll achieve the kind of success I've been fortunate enough to enjoy.”

Award-winning author of short stories, articles, and 37 books in a variety of genres

From the desk of author,
Andrea (Ande) Rains Waggener
Dear Writer,
I'm sure that, like thousands and thousands of other writers, you don’t just write because you enjoy writing. You write because you want to be successful. Isn't that right? You want to earn a living with your words. Heck, maybe for now, you’d just be happy to be published-even if you don’t get paid for it.
I know that’s how I felt when I was first starting out as a writer. I just wanted to make a sale. Any sale. I wanted to see my name in print.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait too long to see my name in print. I sold my first short story to Teen Magazine. I still have a photocopy of the check I received for that story framed and hanging on the wall in my office. Can’t you just picture a framed check like that hanging on your wall?
Since that first sale, I have sold more short stories. I’ve sold poetry, greeting card copy, essays, over 300 newspaper columns, and four books. I’ve written successful articles, web copy, and sales letters. I have realized my dream of becoming a successful career author.
And now I want you to be able to do the same thing. You deserve to be a successful writer too!
Imagine making your first sale. Or if you’ve already made your first sale, imagine making another sale, and then another. And another.
Picture your name on the cover of published books. See your name printed in the byline of articles in magazines and in newspapers.
Close your eyes for just a second and feel how excited you’ll be the first time you get an advance check in the mail. Or how about a royalty check? Can’t you just smell the ink of all those great numbers typed on a check made out to you? Visualize yourself depositing that check in the bank. Doesn’t that feel wonderful?
Do you want to know how to create a writing career that will bring check after check your way? Are you ready to learn how to write so much great stuff that you can see your name in print whenever you want?
If so, I’m going to make it as easy for you to learn what you need to learn as I possibly can. How? By giving you a proven roadmap to writing success. I’m going to show you, step by step, how you can become a writer extraordinaire.
Not only will I give you the roadmap, I’ll help you begin practicing what you need to do to follow the roadmap. I’ll lead you through EXACTLY what you need to do to develop every aspect of your writing success arsenal.
I've just started my first writing project, and having your writing tips coming in each week is quite useful - it gives me hope that there will be something to help me out each time I'm confronted with a new problem with my writing!

I’m making money from my writing for the first time, thanks to Ande!”
--Nancy Eltrich, WriterHoquiam, Washington
Who am I and why was I able to develop this writing success roadmap?
I am the author of three published books:
Alternate Beauty (Bantam 2005)
Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise-Fifty-two Life-changing Lessons for the Twenty-first Century (Hazelden 2005)
Dog Parenting-How to Have an Outrageously Happy and Well-adjusted Canine (Adams Media Corp., 2006)
I am a former newspaper columnist. I wrote, “The Up Beat” for The Daily World for over six years. I am the author and publisher of a two e-zines, “Living On The Up Beat,” and “The Dog Parent & Canine Kid News.” I have written dozens of articles, essays, sales letters, and pieces of website copy.
Because of my writing success, I have been a guest on numerous radio shows. I’ve also appeared on Fox News Network’s, Fox & Friends and the Pacific Northwest TV shows, Northwest Afternoon and Being In Seattle. In addition, my books have received coverage in newspapers like The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and in national magazines like Fitness and Shape.
Not only am I a successful author, I’m also a teacher. Before I became a writer, I was an attorney, and I taught legal writing at the University of Puget Sound Law School. My teaching was done primarily one-on-one. I provided my students with lessons on structure and grammar, and then I worked with them privately, providing them with gentle but honest feedback to help them improve. I also have taught writing workshops and online writing courses.
Here’s what people have to say about the guidance I can offer:
“Andrea Rains Waggener is one of the most inspirational teachers I have known. I've always been an optimistic person, but her columns and books have made me look much more closely at what I do and why I do it, and how I could do it better. Her talks have sent me home ready to tackle jobs I've put off, and writing I didn't think I could do. I admire her tremendously.”
--Meg Chittenden, AuthorLakewood, Washington
“Andrea is a master at conveying concepts that are easy to understand and use. And she does this in a way that is . . . dare I say it? . . . FUN! She tells stories from her own experience that you, the student, can truly relate to. And suddenly, you discover that she's drawn you to a place of understanding something extraordinarily important and valuable. And given you sensible tools and practices. I encourage you to read everything by Andrea Rains Waggener that you can get your eyes and/or hands on.”
--Sandra Lee, Licensed Massage PractitionerVancouver, British Columbia, Canada
“I met Ande Waggener at the 2006 "Write on the Beach" Conference in Ocean Shores. She gave two scheduled seminars. The first one was an overview of basic writing skills. I remember her saying that journaling was an important part of developing writing skills, and I'm picturing the usual "Here's how my little day went" journaling and I'm actively shaking my head disagreeing with her. Then she went on to explain that in a journal a writer could capture deep emotional reactions at the time the feelings were felt, and that could be mined later for authenticity in a novel. And a writer could describe interesting people, places or events they had seen, and that could be mined later. At which point I'm nodding my head up-and-down, and now I journal, and I really believe this will make me a better writer because I'm very clear on the purpose of journaling and very clear on what's important to capture for future use.
”Her first seminar held many "ah-hah" moments for everyone in attendance. Word spread quickly through the participants of the conference, and Ande's second seminar a few hours later was standing room only. I heard that one or more of the other seminars scheduled for the same time were cancelled due to lack of audience because everyone showed up at Ande's seminar. The second seminar provided an overview of her online novel course that she’s now turned into a Writing System, Novel Writing Made Easy-How to Plan A Novel That Practically Writes Itself, and she provided such clarity and organization that for the first time I saw an answer to a question I'd been pondering for some months: How does a writer keep all the little facts and details of characters straight across many months of preparation and writing so that when someone like me reads the novel in four hours there are no inconsistencies?
”So, I signed up for both of Ande's online course right there and then at the conference. I've been working through the course, and Ande's information and feedback have been great!”
