Dear Erik:
I got some really good
news today and I wanted to share it with you. You may recall that I sent
you an e-mail a couple of weeks ago that I had received a call from
"Woman's World" and they wanted to use my idea for a story but
have someone else write it.
Well things have now
changed. Today I received a call from the assignment editor who read
my story and said they want to buy it. They will publish it in first
person and I will of course get the byline and they are paying me
$500. They are also going to have a photo editor call me to set up a
time for a photographer to come to my home and take my picture. I am
thrilled.
This is so exciting for
me.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Erik it's me
again,
I've now been published
three times by Michigan Cyclist Magazine and once by the national magazine
Dirt Rag. You were right Erik, these magazines NEED good material.
Anyway, because my
girlfriend got a new job, I am now in Kansas City MO, of all places.
I've been here only a week and based on my portfolio containing four
published articles, and not much else, I'm now a columnist (and aspiring
assistant editor) with a regional sports rag called Playground
Magazine! It's a monthly 70 page glossy publication with a midwest
distribution of 25,000 copies. Not too bad for a beginner...
The reason I am no
longer a computer programmer, and can now honestly call myself a writer, is
because I published that first time. And the reason I was able to get
published that first time is because your workshop showed me the steps
necessary. If that's not a complete and utter endorsement for your
class, I don't know what else I can say.
Thanks again, I'm sure
you'll be hearing from me as I explore the Participant Lounge in the very
near future...

Hi Erik:
This is Todd Mercer,
one of your workshop students from the April - May 1998 Huron High (Ann
Arbor, Michigan class). Just to remind you, I was the one with
the "Trail" article. Well good news, it was already
accepted by Michigan Cyclist Magazine! They're going to press
on Tuesday (today). Talk about fast, they also want to know what kind
of stuff I've got planned for the summer. If they are interested in
any of it, they'll have me write something for them. Cool!
There is no doubt in my
mind it was because of your workshop that my article got published.
(Whoops, used a 'that' there. I got to remember to watch that.)
Anyway, your workshop was great fun and very informative. But, most
importantly, it worked. And worked fast! Thanks a bunch Erik.
"The
most comprehensive, practical resource available today!"
——Joann
Gardner, Corporate Training Professional,
Ann Arbor, MI
Erik Bean has created
the most comprehensive, practical resource available today! He provides a
clear, step-by-step process for both the novice as well as published author
to follow. He takes the "mystique" out of writing for
publication. Erik has a straightforward, low-key style that is easy to
follow and incredibly believable. The reader/viewer knows that here is an
author who speaks from his own experience. In an amazingly competitive
business, Erik is a real anomaly: he tells it "all" simply and practically...including
how to discover your own subjects, the query letter, photography,
attribution, and rejection letters - he covers it all! Every wanna'be
author has to own a copy (Writing for Publication video or book) - this
will be an investment with top-dollar payoffs! You will have to purchase
your own copy - I don't share mine!
“I
found the workshop to be a great refresher and it was truly
motivating.”
—— Dave Hornstein,
Managing Editor, Perry Johnson, Inc.,
Southfield, Michigan,
the world’s leading ISO 9000, QS-9000 and ISO 14000 consulting and training
firm
“Erik
Bean’s advice helped me to strengthen my writing, leading to my first
published article. It was more than just a confidence building lesson. He
focused on what's really important.”
—— Doug LaPlaca, an
MSU graduate whose first article appeared in the January 1995 issue of
Michigan Out-of-Doors.
"I've
been published before, but the Magazine Article Writing Workshop helped to
provide fresh tips on the best markets for my writing."
