Testimonials & Comments

“The Six-Figure Freelancer delivers an exciting message: freelance writers can make a good living! I urge any freelancer struggling to make ends meet to get Paul Lima's down-to-earth e-book, study it, and do what it says. You will look back and realize this was a turning point in your writing life.” 
– Gordon Graham (www.thatwhitepaperguy.com), past-president, Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC) and full-time freelance writer since 1987

"Paul Lima proves that with focus, planning and confidence, success as a corporate freelance writer is possible. If you want to start a  writing business, you need to read this book." 
– Elizabeth Cockle, EC Writing  (www.ecwriting.com)

"My very first [query] effort following your advice yielded a sale: Canadian Business bought my story. I took your advice: 'Start right into the story and hope they want more,' followed by a casual segue into a) why they should run the story and b) why I should write it for them.And it worked! "

"I have had two out of my first four queries accepted. Before taking your course, it was more like one in ten. Now all I have to do is write the articles!"

"I really appreciate your systematic approach to marketing. Your idea of breaking markets into segments was very helpful."

"I learned everything I wanted to know within the first four chapters. The rest was gravy."
