Mindy McHorse, AWAI Barefoot Writer

I first met Mindy McHorse in Delray Beach, Florida, in 2015 at the American Writers & Artists Institute (AWAI) FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp. See 2021 Edition.

I was watching a video of Dan Kennedy talking about business success. He said the best way to become successful at business is to learn copywriting. And the best place to learn copywriting is AWAI.

I immediately looked it up and signed up for the newsletter.

Soon after that, I signed up to attend Bootcamp.

The best thing I ever did in my life.

The FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp

The FastTrack to Copywriting Success Bootcamp was four full days of presentations by many of the world’s best copywriters and marketers, including:

  • Clayton Makepeace
  • Bob Bly
  • Mark Forde
  • Nick Usborne
  • Richard Armstrong
  • Ben Settle
  • Carline Anglade-Cole (worth the price of admission herself)
  • Jen Stevens
  • Heather Robson
  • Pam Foster
  • Ann Handly
  • Elise Benum
  • Joshua Boswell
  • And many more.

Katie Yeakle, Rebecca Matter, Mindy McHorse, and the whole AWAI crew were irresistible in their enthusiasm for all of the opportunities available for writers and marketers.

Bootcamp also included a Job Fair, where a wide range of publishers and marketers had jobs to offer. It was great to talk with people on the other side of training.

The opportunities for writing careers are wide open. Everything from blogging about things you love to marketing campaigns to long-form sales letters.

AWAI Courses

I subscribe to a number of AWAI courses. The growing catalog of courses and programs covers a huge range of writing niches and opportunities.

Here are some:

The newest program is “UX” Demystified, about the User Experience (UX).

All writing, video, photography, and
marketing is about the User Experience

Barefoot Writer Magazine

Our guest Mindy McHorse came to AWAI in much the same way I did. She was looking for new writing opportunities and was intrigued by the opportunities presented by AWAI.

So she went to Bootcamp and found a home.

Mindy produces the AWAI Barefoot Writer Magazine and Club.

Here is her story.

I met Lori Allen at the AWAI Copywriting Bootcamp and Job Fair in Delray Beach, Florida in 2015 and 2017.

I was interested in Travel Writing, Photography, and Video. Lori’s Great Escape Publishing was perfect for that.

I also talked with Jennifer Stevens of International Living Magazine.

I subscribed to a number of training programs offered by Great Escape Publishing. See Programs.

Lori Allen was the main instructor for many of these courses.

I also followed Great Escape Radio podcasts hosted by Jody Mayberry and Lori Allen. See Podcast Archive.

I noticed that Lori was often very excited about curated travel excursions to Africa, Asia, and other locations where people could experience the world and practice their travel career craft.

So it made sense to me when Great Escape Publishing was sold to International Living Magazine, and Lori started a new company called Focused Escapes.

Focused Escapes is all about the travel experience.

I am honored that Lori Allen will share her travel journey with us for the Healthy Wealthy Nomads SuperShow.
