I took Jonathan's course and it was an incredible amount of help. Jonathan took me under his wing, allowing me to question him by e-mail with questions that arose. Before the course, I had zero sales in 1 1/2 years. My first sale came two weeks after the course. I have sold 15 short stories so far and have a novel, God Seed, due out fall of '06. Jonathan's methods are direct and enduring and his manner is that of mentor rather than lecturer. I would recommend his course to anyone considering writing as a profession.

I've had two workshops with Jonathan and one private consultation. He's the best I've seen and the best I've heard of. He's very kind, exceedingly creative, up-to-the-minute and state-of-the-art about the writing business. The only people who wouldn't derive benefit from working with Jonathan are people who either can't write worth a damn or don't care about getting published.

TESTIMONIALS FOR CAREER DOCTOR FOR WRITERS

The Novel in 9 Months class was amazing. I actually finished a 350 page novel in seven months and am well on my way to revising it for submission. Jonathan’s class made each step so easy to grasp.

-Mark LeBeau, Ph.D
Clinical Psychologist

I was selling articles within two or three months after I attended one of Jonathan’s lectures at a Writers Conference in Western Pennsylvania. I’d racked up over fifty rejection letters before that and now I’m getting sales. Gotta love that!

-James Mark Brady, Jr., CPA

“I’ve been starting and stopping my novel for fifteen years, and then I took Jonathan’s course on “How to Get Started”. Now, eleven months later I’m just putting the finishing touches on the final draft, and next week I’m going to jump in and start a second book while I try to sell this one.”

Isabelle Watkins
Teacher, Pittsburgh School District

I took the Nuts and Bolts of the Writing Business two years ago, and since then I’ve sold three short stories and two articles. Now I’m writing a nonfiction book on investments, and I really believe I’m going to finish it and sell it. Jonathan supercharged me with confidence like no one else ever has.

Phenomenally motivating, encouraging, and uplifting—these words are not hyperbole when used to describe Jonathan Maberry. His ability to write and market his own material is so impressive as to seem superhuman, and this alone would make him inspiring to rub elbows with. But just as impressive is his generous desire to help others achieve their writing dreams. If you need a good-hearted taskmaster who will make you do your best work and overcome your resistance to marketing yourself, he’s your man.
