So how do you transform your writing from bland to laser-targeted content that sparkles?

Join me as I interview copywriter extraordinaire Henneke Duistermaat, writing instructor and CEO of Enchanting Marketing, as we discuss some of the inside secrets of copywriting.

Henneke Duistermaat is an “irreverent copywriter and marketer” on a mission to “stamp out gobbledygook” in writing.  She’s written two (5-star rated) books on writing and blogging, and has been an influence in the way I write.
