A writing swipe file for you (2.0)

Today I don’t want to waste your time. So here a quick one for your writing.

Even in times of AI, writing will be one of the key parts to elevate your career. Since the last 20 years, writing is more important than ever, because most of our communication is in letters.

We write our bosses, co-workers, and yes also our next date or spouse in written words most of the time.

But more often than not, we just write without thinking and most of us are not working on their writing skills when they finished school.

So here a quick pro tip if you looking on a blank paper (or screen) next time and need inspiration.

The trick is, using the style and work of a great legendary writer and “copy” her/his approach to get what you want.

So if you write a memo just copy a memo of Steve Jobs. If you write about a non-fiction topic then copy James Clear.

You get my point…

But where you get good copy-work from?

No worries, I will cover you again with a swipe file. Here’s a great source of master writing student David Perell… (which I mentioned before often)

Just search for the writer which fits your current problem the most and use her/his voice for your purpose. (by the way, this is how most great copywriters do their work too)

So stay curious.
