I’ve never been a good story teller – and piecing together chains of events that retain the same anticipation, angst or excitement from the original never came easy to me.

While we are discussing GARY HALBERT he wrote a series of letters called THE BORON LETTERS to his youngest son Bond.

Good Story 🙂
One of the things I realized early on working with John Carlton is that good sales copy is structured story telling. It has a lot in common with technical writing.
Just like a story designed to make you laugh, or cry, or learn a step-by-step process, there are constructs and patterns that have proven to work in copy.
