Talking to other copywriters is a treat — especially when they’re all good at what they do.

Sunday evening’s BlogTalkRadio “Nuts & Blogbolts” discussion left me with a page of scribbled notes, a brain buzzing with ideas, and a deeper appreciation for the vision of my fellow copywriters.

It’s not every day you get to sit down and talk copy with the likes of Michel Fortin, Ryan Healy, and Roberta Rosenberg (not to mention hosts Mike Sansone and Wayne Hurlbert), and if you don’t take something meaningful away from that discussion, it’s probably because you forget to turn the sound on.

I was struck by our similar focus; we were a diverse group of writers — with widely varying specialties — yet we connected with each other’s comments.

There was discussion relevant to newer copywriters, but most interesting to me was the talk about the changes occuring in our craft. Interesting stuff indeed.

Don’t miss it.

The Comforts of Copywriters

Blogging is popular among freelancers for many reasons, one of which is the sense of community it creates.

I wanted badly to live in a remote, thinly populated part of Northern California, but one of the downsides is a stunning lack of copywriters to call for lunch.

I imagine there isn’t one within an hour’s drive in any direction, so talking to a handful of real pros was an refreshing exercise.

In truth, good copywriting is often about connecting with your readers, and I’m thankful there’s no rule barring a connection with my fellow copywriters.

Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
