Bang out an authentic description of your business with guidance from a writing coach who will make the process easy, fun, and energizing.

If you haven’t updated your web copy in a while… or you haven’t gotten around to actually writing something… let’s get it done, shall we?

Your business is premised on an important, original idea. Those are hard to come by, and even harder to articulate. ChatGPT will only get you as far as regurgitating what’s been said and done before, and you may not be able to afford a copywriter yet. In short: your business’s most important and defining messages are gonna need to come from you.

Join a self-paced accountability space for up to 12 mission-driven professionals looking for guidance and community as they each develop a key message for their enterprise

The format

  • Join the Get-it-over-with Writing Circle Slack channel.

  • Daily assignments are announced at 9am PT daily. Follow along or do your own thing.

  • Ask questions, share experiences, solicit feedback from me and your peers.

  • Schedule a 20-minute pep talk with me when you get stuck.

  • If you do one hour of work per day, you can complete a usable draft of your homepage copy (or other key message) by EOD Friday.

  • Make a choice each Friday: opt in for another week, or free up the seat for someone else.


Consider joining if:

  • You need to develop a key message about yourself or your company. I’m marketing it as “homepage copy”, but the same principles should apply as long as you’re writing something descriptive about yourself, your company, or a product/service.

  • You can commit to 1-5 hours of work on your writing task next week.

  • You are willing to provide feedback to—and receive feedback from—other people in your cohort. We will all agree to clear terms of engagement, but there is vulnerability and risk inherent in any collaborative environment.

  • You can use Slack and Google Docs with minimal support.


Why “beta”?

I’ve taught online college courses and provided writing coaching support to dozens of business owners and many more college applicants. BUT. This is the first time I’m facilitated a Slack-based cohort-driven “writing circle” outside of an academic course. In other words: I’ve managed all the pieces before, but not in this format.

The “beta” version is pay-what-you-can (recommended $30/week.) Remember: you can finish everything within a week if you all 5 daily assignments—or you can keep your seat for another week.

If you put in a sincere effort and the course doesn’t “click” for you, I’ll offer 50% off my “copy-in-a-week” service and write it for you.
