About Us
For the past twelve years, Marg has run a successful writing business: Word Dynamics (NSW) Pty Ltd (also trading as Writing For Success). Marg has been a ghostwriter for business professionals and others on the international speaking circuit. She has written books and articles on Customer Service, Public Speaking, Marketing, Real Estate Sales, Networking and Delivering Dynamic Presentations and many other subjects. With networking expert Robyn Henderson, Marg has co-authored a book on networking and self-promotion: Be Seen, Get Known, Move Ahead. A writer who wears many hats, Marg has written fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children. She was on the Committee of Romance Writers of Australia for four years, and has run workshops at various RWA National Conferences. The author of over 50 books for children, she has written short stories for school magazines, a set of worksheets for schools as part of a $5 million multimedia project and numerous short non-fiction pieces for educational publications. Her work targets a wide age range and includes picture books, short books for children with reading difficulties and mysteries for older children. For 5 years, she was part of the Charles Sturt University (Mitchell) Enrichment Program, teaching creative writing to talented children. In 1998, Marg was a regional judge for the Nestlé Write Around Australia competition. In addition, Marg is the author of five correspondence courses for the Australian College of Journalism: The Professional Romance Writer's Course, The Professional Children's Writer's Course, The Professional Crime and Suspense Writer's Course, Writing Non-Fiction That Sells and How To Write a Bestseller. She is a Senior Tutor for a number of students in these courses. Marg is also an occasional staff member of the Writer’s Retreat Workshop in Kentucky, USA. This workshop, established by Gary Provost, has been designated by USA Weekend as the writing program “vacation that can change your life”. In May/June 2003 Marg was there again, working with authors working in a variety of genres for various age groups. You can contact Marg at marg@writing4success.com
Rob, coming from a background in finance and management, makes sure that Writing For Success stays on track (and their accountant stays happy!). Ten years ago, after many years in banking, Rob leapt at the opportunity to strike out on his own: he and a partner started up a successful outdoor adventure company, Southbound Adventures. Five years (and lots of adventures) later, he sold his share of the business and took on dual responsibilities as Manager of the SeaSpray Function Centre for the Shellharbour Surf Life Saving Club, and an increasing workload in the family business. Three years after that, it was crunch time - Writing For Success needed two people full time, and Rob passed on the management of the SeaSpray to someone else. The extra manpower gives us the opportunity to develop further products and services to help writers - a regular newsletter as well as books on writing, workshops and seminars. The newsletter is well under way and proving to be just as popular as we expected with writers at all levels of experience. We'll keep you posted about further products! You
