Robert Collier (1885-1950), an American writer and essayist, is considered one of the greatest copywriters of sales letters. A prolific reader, after working as a mining engineer, he went to work in what we would now call the marketing department of the family publishing house. His innovative ideas in persuasive sales-related copy led him to sell books, travel bags, coats, and other goods to the tune of millions. Collier wrote down the skills he acquired in The Robert Collier Letter Book, which is still one of the most comprehensive volumes on copywriting to this day. He has also written about New Thought, selling over 300,000 copies of his book The Secret of the Ages.
