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
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.
