WRITE LIKE A HUMAN (half day)

Every day more and more individuals and organisations rely on AI to generate copy. It’s quick, reliable … and boring. The more LLM generated copy there is in the world, the greater the opportunity for you and your words to stand out.  

This workshop is all about how to lean into your one irrefutable advantage – being a warm-blooded human – and write words that people will actually want to read.

In this illuminating and interactive session we’ll look at all kinds of great writing to reveal strategies you can use to make your copy more authentic and effective.

Take aways  …

  • How to make the process (mostly) painless

  • How to tell a simple truth in a surprising way

  • Rhythm and how to find it

  • Discovering the universal in the particular

  • Creating momentum

  • Syntactic surprise

  • Feel, don’t think

  • When - and when not - to use AI

  • Writing for the socials

  • Making cliché work for you

  • Stephen King’s 10% rule

Outcome

More effective copy across all touch-points. More confidence working with words and a more innovative and authentic use of them.
