If fame is your goal, then you'll be famous.

If wealth and high income is your goal, you'll get there.


We all have the urge to create, the innate desire to express ourselves and to create beauty. Do it by writing a book, yes, by writing your own book! Want to write a mystery book? Do it!


Writing a novel--me? You'll ask. Yes, it takes grit, passion, imgination and zest, but we'll supply the writing advice and you the rest. If you yearn to write a novel and be acclaimed...Do it.


Our easy-to-read  writing manual gets results. With the writing advice you'll find in our book, you'll be successful.

 

                     Say “goodbye” to the fear of rejection.

 

 

Take a determined--but inexperienced--writer struggling to depict a scene in which a character is pondering suicide:

 

Overwhelmed by the horrifying thought, she sank in the sofa.

 

Now, see what adding a few words can do to the above sentence:

Overwhelmed by the horrifying thought, teeth clenched, the box cutter tightly gripped in her hand, she sank in the sofa, tears coursing down her cheeks.

This is Benefit # 1. A simple example of how our book will make your writing crisp and alive. You'll benefit from many techniques; all of such power that will make your prose sizzle. No more anemic, feeble writing that causes you insecurity and anxiety.
I will explain to you why you should almost never begin your sentences with either a noun or a pronoun, and I will give you all the exciting alternatives that will make your prose sizzle.


Benefit # 2. We will unleash for you the power of "Sentence Openers." Poe, Mailer, Updike, Danielle Steel, Stephen King, Garcia Marquez, Haruki Murakami, William Safire, Woody Allen, and other master-writers use them. Our guide will show how, when, and what to use for openers.
After you read our writing manual, you'll see what's missing in your own writing: you can dissect your frog but you can't make it hop; you need our writing advice and our writing strategies.

We've spent countless hours in just about every bookstore in NYC, and nowhere have we seen a book similar to ours. Nor have we seen its contents on college and university shelves.

Our Writing Book is unique and original in its approach.

In less than 15 minutes you'll be able to put our strategies to work.

The Textbook will sell for $66.00, but the price to download the book is only $24.00 only.

INTRODUCING OURSELVES: Mary and Marc


My name is Mary Duffy and the handsome hunk next to me is my husband Marciano Guerrero, a Renaissance man with three degrees 

from Columbia University.

As a Speech and Theatre Major with English and Art History as minors, I heard, over and over, how useless my studies were. My own father called them “intellectual finger-painting.” Yet these studies prepared me to rack up 1250 personal appearances, 750 TV shows and 3 fashion books.

However, when I wrote, I often wondered if it would be 'good enough'. We all know that gnawing feeling of insecurity. Today, I write a fashion blog that is rated #8 for content and appearance.



I know the feeling of exhilaration and elation that will be drawn on your face after you write a story, an article, or a book, and publish it. Having published several books during my career, I will understand what will go through your mind, body, and even your central nervous system.

That first ISBN Number is a thrill and it will outlive you in the Library of Congress!

Our work, goodwill, reputation, and publications are trustworthy--follow our writing advice and you'll succeed.

If you're ready to purchase our guide, go ahead:

Nothing is sweeter than the ecstasy of writing a book for someone to read--and perhaps admire.
