ANNOUNCE: Major Study of White Paper Writers Released

Learn tips and strategies for formatting, writing and pricing white papers.

The results of the industry's first major study of white paper writers are revealed in a new report entitled "White Paper Writer Industry Survey." See http://www.whitepapersource.com/cmd.php?af=343295

If you are a freelance writer, the report will help you understand how much to charge when writing a white paper, the time it takes to produce one and the standards you should follow.

If you are an in-house writer, the report will help you understand white paper formatting, the time commitment and industry standards, thereby increasing the quality of your work.

Recommended by best-selling authors Robert W. Bly (author of The Copywriter's Handbook) and Peter Bowerman (author of The Well-Fed Writer), more than 8,000 writers and marketing professionals own a copy of the report.

The graphic-rich, 42-page report surveyed more than 575 white paper writers. The comprehensive study reveals the key processes involved in writing white papers, why white papers are produced, how they are distributed and the differences between independent and in-house writers.
