      I don't know... I'm kind of partial to calling myself my favorite living copywriter.

      I have a lot of copywriters who I enjoy reading their copy. Michel Fortin, Clayton Makepeace, and Doug D'Anna are three of my favorites lately.

          Eric,

          Actually you know I was kidding, but thanks for the nice words. As for the video scripts, funny you should ask...

          Matt is great, as is Ross Bowring. Both are ace copywriters personally trained by me.

          Matt's just dynamite on these projects and Ross, well... he and I sat together last month and really scientifically ripped the genre apart to figure out what makes it tick. These two are scary good at it.

          Can you tell I'm a proud papa?

          I know they're writing all my ppt videos in the future.

          And Alexa... okay, with you I really am offended. I thought I was your favorite! Those warm romantic nights you and I spent together off the coast... I figured they'd account for something (even if they were only in my head.)

    I can't say I have any favorites, but I am receiving coaching from Bret Thomson, an Aussie copywriter.

    He loves what he does and is really down to earth. He gives me plenty of value in my coaching calls. His work is brilliant.

    Man, there are tons of writers I like.

    I like Drayton Bird, because finding one
    of his books in my local library 5 years
    ago is what got me started on this crazy
    journey. I liked the book so much I kept
    it for months and paid over $100 in fines
    when I returned it hehe.

    Plus, Drayton's also based in London. Gotta
    support the countrymen, right?

    Same with Mr Montello. Not the library
    thing- just the impact he had on me. Vin's
    IM letters blew me away on a completely
    fundamental level, and kind of illustrated
    what's possible.

    When I write letters for Clickbank, I'm still
    trying to hit that Montello stride.

    Also, Kevin Rogers and Matt O' Connor.
    Both of them get my jealousy gland all
    worked up when I read their stuff.

    But that's cool... I'm lucky enough to call
    these guys buddies.

    Oh and of course, the main man, John Carlton.
    John's the target of my obsessive reading lately.
    Just can't leave those blog archives alone.

    Kinda worked out though, because John just
    asked me to join the faculty of tutors for his
    Simple Writing System.

    But yeah, those are the guys for me right now.

    I'm also partial to Makepeace, but it doesn't
    always resonate with me as much as other
    stuff.

    I know I'm in the minority there though.

    Interesting thread.

    For those folks who don't know -- there's a lot of talented, successful copywriters who have responded to my question ...

    So -- though, Vin, I did request "living" copywriters

    Live JoyFully!
