Peter Bowerman

peter bowerman

Peter Bowerman is the author of The Well-Fed Writer , how-to “standards” in the lucrative field of commercial freelancing – writing for businesses, large and small.

In 1993, after a 15-year career in sales and marketing, Bowerman turned his sights to freelance commercial writing. With no industry experience, no previous paid writing experience and no writing background, he built a commercial freelancing business in Atlanta, Georgia from fantasy to full-time in less than four months.

His corporate client list has included Coca-Cola, IBM, Holiday Inn, DuPont, American Express, Mercedes-Benz, The Discovery Channel and many others.

He has published over 250 articles and editorials, leads seminars on writing and is a professional coach on both commercial freelancing business start-up and self-publishing.

Sherryl Clark

Sheryl Clarke

Sherryl Clark first ran classes and seminars on self-publishing in the 1990s, before the Docutech and digital technology became widely available in Australia. She believes the advances in computers and print-on-demand are amazing opportunities for self-publishers - but she sticks by her definition of "successful" - that you sell every copy you print. Whether that's 50 or 5000.

Although Sherryl has had 29 books commercially published, she continues to self-publish Poetrix magazine with Western Women Writers and will be teaching Small Press Publishing at Victoria University TAFE in 2007. And many of her past self-publishing students have continued to publish local and family histories, poetry, autobiographies and children's books.
