Copy Savvy copywriting workshop
Too much of the copy we read is bollocks – turgid, self-referential, overly long and unengaging. If you write copy – annual reports, sales pitches, social media, appeal letters, member communications, website and eNewsletter copy, speeches, membership renewals, media releases, letters to editors – Copy Savvy is for you.
If you want to be a better writer in order to get more sales, support, donations or clients book your place.
If you write or create communications this is for you.
This is ideal for the part-timers, the multi-taskers and the all rounders.
The Copy Savvy copywriting course is not about grammar. This copywriting course is for contemporary copywriters who handle everything from sales letters and opinion pieces to tweets and the CEO’s speech.
The Copy Savvy copywriting workshop is for copywriters who also have to be social media experts, have a working knowledge of search engine optimisation and be full of interesting ideas as to how to present content. We feel your pain.
Meet fellow copywriters, see endless examples from across the globe and learn how to:
Before we meet in person, participants can submit examples of their writing for review by the group as a whole.

Be comfortable with writing for the online world.
