Online Writing Day: Copywriting

In this one-day online copywriting workout, Arvon brings together two writing legends from the commercial writing world.

John Simmons and Will Awdry have – through books, workshops, their own hands-on experience – set the standard for writing that is engaging, playful and effective. Their aim with this workout is to get you feeling confident in your writing, fitter to take on any challenges and equipped with new insights to take your writing to a higher level.

In the session, John and Will share notes, debate opinions and show examples of inspirational thinking and writing, complete with critiques, results and explanation. Contributions and opinions will be warmly encouraged via the ‘Chat’ forum. There will be the odd, light-hearted invitation to respond to rapid, but risk-free, challenges. Wrong answers will not exist.

Absorbing, entertaining and informative, this is a memorable day that dishes up countless useful take-outs to tuck into your writing – whatever your metier, mojo or medium.

• Zoom webinar format (your video and audio will remain off throughout, & your name will not be visible to other participants so it is a ‘relaxed’ event).

How I Write

• There is a chat and Q&A facility to ask any questions.

Online Writing Weeks / Weekends

• Courses have much smaller groups than Masterclasses and How I Write events, and are also more interactive with your fellow course participants and tutors, so cameras and audio are usually on (though both are completely optional). If you would prefer your camera and audio to be off, it would be helpful to let your course host know this in advance.
