Why learn these tricks from Ann?

Ann spends 40 hours a month developing writing techniques so you don't have to

But ... do my tricks work?

Yes, they do.

I know because I've tested them in the real world. In fact, one of the things that sets me apart from many writing trainers is that I practice what I preach. I actually write.

Today, about half of my business is writing — newsletters, magazines, Websites, annual reports and the like, mostly for big corporate clients. The other half is helping professional writers learn to write better.

My writing and publications have earned more than 40 awards for excellence. That includes two IABC Gold Quills — the Pulitzer Prizes of business communications.

Not because of talent.

Because of tricks.

So how did I end up with all these great tricks?

That's easy. I'm a geek.

I was never happier than when I was in graduate school, gathering information for my journalism thesis. I'm a junkie for books and tapes, journals and newsletters, classes and conferences. I love to research, organize and present information.

So I've crafted a business that allows me to continue doing just that — researching best practices, formulating techniques and sharing those approaches with others.

Over the years, I've spent thousands of hours researching, developing, testing and sharing tricks for improving writing.

Each month, I process the information I've gathered. But trying to cram all my tips into my writing workshops, teleseminars and articles is like trying to cram size 12 hips into size 6 jeans.

During the past month, for example, I've accumulated 98 pages of information (studies, quotes, news stories, award-winning communications and so forth) in my electronic files and at least that many again in paper.

It's frustrating to have to essentially throw away all these ideas!

So the Rev Up Readership toolbox started out as a way to organize and process all that information for my own use. When I hit 497 pages, I realized that my personal toolbox of tips would be valuable to others and decided to make it available to communicators who want to master techniques for reaching more readers — in print and online.
