ABOUT US 

HEY YOU! I believe a quick introduction is in order. I’m affectionately known in the book industry as TWISTED T. STYLES and I lead a team of writers for Creative Copywriting Services, a division of The Cartel Publications.

 

Although some would take offense to the Twisted moniker, I find it clever and accurate. Why? Because for over seven years, I have gone out of my way to create innovative and provocative book titles and concepts. And as a result, my novels have been featured on BET and the Oprah Winfrey Network, and in The Library Journal, The Washington City Paper, The Baltimore Sun and more.

 

The novels I’ve penned—over 40, might I add—have landed me major deals with the top publishing houses, including Kensington and Simon and Schuster. Considering thousands attempt to secure book deals and fail every year, I’m proud of this accomplishment.

 

With my strong fiction background, I am confident that using me for your copy needs will give you an advantage. For years I have persuaded customers to purchase my books and by using jaw-dropping titles and intense opening lines, I’ve seduced them into finishing my novels. If I can hold the attention of a reader for two hundred pages or more, I’m certain I can nab your audience with less copy.

 

How will this help you? I’ll get right to it. If you hire my team, I will ensure that your copy receives the same twisted, outside-the-box attention I give my novels. In a day and age where consumers are inundated with lifeless ads, it’s important that your product shine brightly. A little shock and awe doesn’t hurt either.

 

So whether you employ me to write your landing page, sales letter, social network updates or a special love note to the one you adore, I’ll ensure that your intended target will never forget you. In the end, isn’t that all that matters? So what do you say? Can we get started?
