Effectively communicating in various mediums and to different audiences in the fitness industry requires distinct skills sets. Amanda is able to hone in on how I can succinctly get my written messages across - both through her consultation and editing advice. Quality and professional work is extremely important to me; Active Voice has helped me achieve both.

When I want to make sure that my writing is clear, concise and grammatically correct, I send it to Amanda. And I get back exactly what I was after. She helps me communicate what I want to say in writing with precise and vivid language.

Amanda has been an invaluable resource for the Spinning® program. She has a rare combination of skills that would benefit any fitness publishing organization—she's familiar with a variety of exercise topics and terminology, and she's an expert in copyediting. Her work is consistently on time and top quality.

When reviewing my articles, Amanda gives clear suggestions for changes, shares the rationale behind each change she suggests so I know how to improve my writing and provides positive feedback by telling me what I'm doing right. As a result of Amanda's feedback, my articles have greater clarity and impact.

As a result of working with Active Voice, I now know all the strategies needed to write a winning query and land assignments, not only with smaller publications, but also the big ones, such as Shape and Muscle & Fitness Hers. Active Voice helps move you from the back of the line with all the writers who scrape a few pennies together, to the front with real paychecks in your mailbox.

I can tell you from personal experience that getting published in national fitness magazines isn’t easy. Even with more than 10 years of experience writing for fitness websites and conducting seminars, it was still an uphill battle for me. Like in many industries, it’s often about who you know. If you’re not fortunate enough to know the grandson of the editor, then you better get to know Amanda Vogel. Her online query workshop tells you exactly how to structure your pitch, using an easy-to-follow model. Amanda analyzes your query in detail and offers suggestions that greatly improve your chances of getting the writing assignments you desire. Amanda’s workshop helped me break in to Men’s Fitness magazine. If you really want to see your name in the best publications, then I highly suggest you sign up for Amanda's workshop.
