Everybody Writes book title treatment

Many of us have the idea that the ability to write well is a gift bestowed on a chosen few. Writing well is considered an art, linked murkily to muse and mysticism and magic.

So, we think there are two kinds of people: the writing haves―and the writing hapless, for whom writing well is a hopeless struggle. Like trying to carve a marble bust with a butter knife.

But I don't believe that. Neither should you.

The truth is this: Writing well is part habit, part knowledge of some fundamental rules, and part giving a damn.

We are all capable of producing good writing. We all have that magic within us.

―Ann Handley, author of Everybody Writes: Your New and Improved Go-To Guide to Creating Ridiculously Good Content

The Formula of Three: High-quality content is packed with clear utility, inspiration, and empathy for the audience

UTILITY

Utility means you clearly help people do something that matters to them―you help them shoulder their burdens, you ease their pain, you help them make a decision.

INSPIRATION

Inspiration means our work is inspired by data or it's creatively inspired (or both). It's fresh, different, well-written, well-produced, nicely designed―and it feels like it could come only from you.

EMPATHY

Empathy means you relentlessly focus on your customer. You view the entire world through their eyes―because everything the light touches...!

Game changer: 2nd edition of Everybody Writes
I admit, I might have not been ready for the first edition of Everybody Writes by Ann Handley back in 2014. I read it and don't remember much. Maybe because I had an almost two year old at the time and was expecting my second child? Since then, my writing style has changed and writing is getting easier for me. Maybe my business goals align with writing more content too and I see the value of putting my knowledge out there, it leads to more speaking gigs and consultations.This new edition was truly 10% funnier (as mentioned on the cover of the book) and full of tools that not only motivate me to write (period) but be more intentional. I truly giggled and put so many bunny ears on this edition that I see myself referencing back to the strategies shared. Bonus: I feel less intimidated by AI (i.e. ChatGPT) because of her book and the things we can share as authors/content creators that humanize our work.
