What a great, short course! Not too long, not too short-- just right. I enjoyed going through the whole course in one sitting and love knowing I can go back to it as a reference as well. Great tips and examples. It was a great reminder of things I knew and forgot... or sometimes question. Very engaging, quick, and doable. I plan to share with my fellow copywriting friends. Thanks, Sharon!

Unfortunately, as with most hypocrites, I have been caught a couple of times using it’s instead of it. This course refreshed my memory on how to major in the minor to become a better, faster writer.
