Monday Musings - Learn Great Copywriting in 76 Minutes

​

Hi friends,

I know it's been some time since I've written you, and I'm trying to do it more often.

Anyway, this one's short. Just three things for today:

1. ​Write of Passage: The next cohort starts on August 26th and enrollment is now open. If you’re interested in joining us or learning more, I’m hosting a Q&A today at 12pm CT. Meet alums. Learn about the program. Ask whatever you want.
   ​
   ​Sign up here (and if you can’t make it, I’ll email you the recording). ​
   ​
2. Writing Examples: I've been toiling away on a project to help you learn from the greatest writing of all-time. It's kind of like a giant swipe file of timeless writing, but it won't just be a list of sentences and paragraphs. Instead, it'll explain why specific pieces of writing have stood the test of time and how you can implement the techniques into your own work.
   ​
   For a peek behind the curtain, here are the first three videos: (1) Jerry Seinfeld's guide to writing introductions, (2) Winston Churchill's speechwriting tricks, and (3) how to describe a scene like John Steinbeck.
   ​
3. How I Write: Okay, this one rips. I just published an interview with Harry Dry, the best copywriter I know. He’s built a 130,000-person newsletter teaching people how to do it. Give it one watch and you’ll become at least a Green Belt in copywriting. ​
   ​
   Don’t take my word for it though. One commenter said: “This is the most useful video I've watched in years (not a joke).”
   ​Listen on Apple or Spotify. Watch on YouTube.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon,
