July Issue:
New Writing Contest
and Much More …

A banner with the July Barefoot Writer Magazine cover with the words: New Issue Out Now

Have you checked out this month’s issue of Barefoot Writer yet?

This month, we’re celebrating Nick Usborne — one of the original architects of online copywriting and proof that a happy writing life is entirely possible. As his Coffee Detective Money-Making Website turns 20, Nick’s still doing what he loves: writing, teaching, and, yes, drinking plenty of coffee along the way. His candid interview reveals exactly how he got here, accidents and all.

It’s also full of enlightening articles like these:

  • Writing opportunities that bring home the whole paycheck (no boss, no pitch, no client approval) …
  • The dreaded plateau: how to sail past maintenance mode …
  • 3 signs you’re sabotaging your success (and surprisingly simple solutions) …
  • AWAI Members Susie Kuse and Art Remnet both took back doors into the world of writing … and they reveal how they quickly found their ways to the front of the success bus …

Plus, working writers answer the question: What does freedom as a writer look like to you?

All this and more are waiting for you inside!
