Within a matter of weeks after completing the program, I found myself working on a copywriting assignment for $3,000!" And then there's this note from Richard P., who said … "I was a competent writer making a modest fee … then I discovered AWAI. I started with the Accelerated Program and never looked back. Today, I'm a Master Copywriter commanding staggering fees, just to do what I love: write copy!" Krista Jones, from Roswell, Georgia, confidently said … "AWAI's Accelerated Program for Six-Figure Copywriting was everything I hoped it would be! It was easy for me to walk away from an 18-year engineering career shortly after I finished the program. I had all the work I could handle.
