New Month = New Workshop

Yup yup, it’s that time again.

Every month, we invite an expert writer to craft a 4-part workshop for our lovely subscribers — designed to help you develop your writing in new, clever and interesting ways.

And we’re super excited for our next one, starting 2 July:

Great copywriting isn’t only about selling. It’s about knowing your audience so well that you can craft stories that deeply resonate with them. Stories that guide them on a journey from where they are now to where they want to be.

Copywriting and creative writing might seem worlds apart. But they are rooted in the same principles: empathy, connection, trust, and transformation. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to use industry-insider copywriting techniques to create rich, memorable, and gripping prose.

Workshop takeaways:

The fundamental copywriting principles you can translate into creative writing.
How to use the art of persuasion and immersion to make your audience forget they’re reading fiction.
Learn how to show and tell like a copywriter so you can create lifelike, complex characters.
How to write with conviction and craft your signature tone of voice.
No words wasted: how to use copywriting techniques to cut the fluff and edit your manuscript like a pro.

This workshop begins on July 2, 2025. Paid subscribers will receive full access to this and all of our workshops for $10/mo
