Book Pick: How to Get Out of Your Own Way and Achieve Copywriting Success

By Kate Sitarz

Woman's silhouette in front of a bright yellow-lit door with a red, cyan, and yellow arches above it.

Oftentimes, we're faced with several open doors ... but we self sabotage and get in our own way. When we have an an opportunity (or several opportunities!), it's all too easy to not take action towards it, whether because we don't know how, we're fearful of doing so, or some combination of the two. Whatever the reason, it's all too easy for us to spiral into negative … [Read more...]

Book Pick: How Copywriters Can Collaborate More Effectively

By Kate Sitarz

Woman in linen blazer smiles at her laptop screen where she is collaborating with another young woman via video conferencing.

As copywriters, we do a lot of work on our own. After all, the actual writing of copy is a fairly solitary job. But often, we need to collaborate.

Even as a freelancer, you may not … [Read more...]

By "rush" we mean scenarios like a client … [Read more...]

Learning to Effectively Communicate as a Copywriter

By Kate Sitarz

We talk all the time, but how often do we evaluate how effective we are at communicating? (And how often do we say we write copy, we don't speak it?) In It's the Way You Say It - Second Edition: Becoming Articulate, Well-Spoken, and Clear, Carol A. Fleming shares how you can not only become aware of how you communicate, but how you can more effectively communicate with those … [Read more...]

Book Pick: Find Your Why (Companion Notebook to “Start with Why”)

By Kate Sitarz

Many of you have already read Start With Why by Simon Sinek, but in case you need a refresher, it explains what the most impactful leaders have in common: a deep reason, or "why," for doing what they do. Without a why, the what you do won't matter. You'll eventually burnout, give up, or simply slog through each day. But that's not the book we're recommending here (though we … [Read more...]
