American Writers & Artists Inc. Names The Winners Of Its 2013 Spec Challenge
Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- American Writers & Artists Inc. announced today the winners of its 2013 Spec Challenge, which allows any member to submit a headline and lead for any American Writers & Artists Inc. program. Entries are reviewed by the AWAI marketing team, and the best are given the chance to use their copywriting skills to fully develop a sales letter to be used in a real world marketing effort.
Winners receive a $1,000 check. And if their sales letter does well, they receive further compensation. Of more than 100 submissions this year, five made the cut.
“It's always tough to choose. We get so much good copy,” says American Writers & Artists Inc. Executive Director Katie Yeakle. “But this year's winners really stood out, and I look forward to working with them in the coming year.”
Here are the winners and the American Writers & Artists Inc. learning program they wrote about for the Challenge:

Attendees also find valuable networking with fellow writers, and the opportunity to work with top publishers and marketing companies during the event's Job Fair.
Copywriting is advertising writing. Offline it comes in printed formats like sales letters, brochures, catalogs, and more. But in the Internet Age, a lot of marketing and advertising has moved online and copywriting has moved with it. Online copy includes sales emails, sales pages, social media, banner ads, video scripts, and more. Copywriting is a still-expanding career opportunity for those interested in making money from writing.
