How This Course is Different?

My name is Marcia Yudkin, and using my decades of experience as a copywriter, author and marketing coach, I serve as your guide to the pizzazz of creative language. Compared with blogs and books on this topic, the Advanced Copywriting course has four points of distinction.

• Plain English explanations. Although many of the techniques discussed have roots in the rhetoric of ancient Greece, you won’t need to struggle with terms like “anaphora,” “catachresis” or “isocolon.”
• Thorough coverage. You don’t learn only three or four methods to jazz up marketing writing. No less than 25 techniques take the stage in turns, each carefully explained and related to one another where appropriate. In addition, near the end of the course you have the opportunity to test your new understanding by rating 20 examples on your own and then comparing your assessments with my comments.
• Examples from marketing copy, not novels or poems. I spent two years collecting both excellent and awful examples for the course from marketers all over the Internet. In contrast, other teachers rely on quotes from the likes of John Steinbeck and Jane Austen, who don’t serve as realistic models for promoting phone apps, vacation rentals or sweaters. One widely admired expert told me she couldn’t possibly take the time to find marketing-related instances of the rhetorical tactics she often wrote about. But I did.
• Hundreds of examples. Just a few examples aren’t enough for you to get the hang of applying the principles described. Instead, well over 200 short passages illustrate vividly what to do and not to do.

To my knowledge, no other copywriting expert offers such a broad range of advanced wordsmithing savvy in one course, book or website. No one!
