$1,819.00
"Today I received a check for $165 for a story. Another I sold for $34. The other day I counted up just how much I made previously. It amounted to $1,620.00. Not bad for a beginner, is it?"—Mrs. L. L. Gray, 579 E. McHarg Ave., Stamford, Texas.

Sells 95 Stories
and Novelettes
The introduction you gave me to your editor friend, resulting in my present assignment to do a complete novel for him monthly, is doubly appreciated especially since I finished my N.I.A. training some time ago and, consequently, have no call on your service. Here is concrete evidence that interest in your students continues indefinitely. To date now, I nave sold 95 stories and novelettes to 20 National Magazines."—Darrell Jordan, P.O. Box 279, Friendship, N.Y.
Do you have the constant urge to write but the fear that a beginner hasn't a chance? Then listen to what the former editor of Liberty said on this subject:
"There is more room for newcomers in the writing field today than ever before. Some of the greatest of writing men and women have passed from the scene in recent years. Who will take their places? Who will be the new Robert W. Chambers, Edgar Wallace, Rudyard Kipling? Fame, riches and the happiness of achievement await the new men and women of power."
