We’re 30 years old in January 2019 and we want to celebrate this landmark by celebrating the success of our students.
Writers: We’d love to hear how you’re getting on with your writing – are you still putting fingers to keyboard or has life taken you in a different direction?
Proofreaders: We’d love to hear how your proofreading course has helped you.
Free Publicity For You - closing date 31st December 2019
In return for getting back to us we can give you a plethora of publicity for your book, business, services etc. We will give you a profile page on our website (link back to your site, blog or wherever you’d like us to link to) and we’ll use our social media platforms to promote your story. So, if you’ve written a book or two, are a freelance writer or proofreader or run a business which is based around your writing or proofreading then get some free promotion by taking part in our celebrations. And, if you’ve got a really cracking profile you may be chosen to feature in our press and magazine advertising.
All you have to do is let us have a summary of what you’ve been doing with your writing or proofreading and what part The Writers Bureau played in your development (up to 500 words); a photo of yourself; images of book covers or video clips if you have them and any links you want us to share.
Please also include at the bottom of your piece:
Your name, address and the following:
I declare that the above is a true and accurate record of my achievements. I give permission for my name, writing achievements described above, photograph and video (if supplied) to be used for promotional purposes by The Writers Bureau.
