Eugene | Schwartz [patched]

His central thesis was radical:

The prospect knows your product but isn’t sure if it’s right for them.

Eugene Schwartz (1927–1995) was one of the highest-paid copywriters of his era. He served as the Vice President of Boardroom Inc., a publisher famous for newsletters and books. Unlike the flashy, lifestyle-guru marketers of today, Schwartz was a studious, almost academic figure who treated copywriting as a science of human behavior.

The only valid criticism of Schwartz is that his style can feel dated to a modern eye unaccustomed to "long-form" copy. A modern consumer might look at his 2,000-word letters and think, "No one reads this anymore."
