Congratulations to our colleagues Melissa Harris and Jenn Bane of M. Harris & Co. on the debut of “Everybody Needs an Editor” — a wonderfully useful new book edited by another one of our collaborators, Mark Jacob.
MG partners were thrilled to contribute. Jonathon Berlin did infographics for the book, and Matt Mansfield wrote a chapter. We had great guidance from Melissa, Jenn, and Mark.
Consider ordering a copy. We are stocking up now to send as holiday gifts, with many of our clients already asking for one. Plus, Melissa and Jenn do workshops if you need personalized training for your team.
Here’s the description from the publisher:
Wedding toasts, website copy, social media posts, even holiday cards—you’ll become a sharper everyday writer with this witty and comprehensive guide to clearer, better communication.
You’ll never write an email the same way after reading Everybody Needs an Editor, a game-changing guide to sharp, attention-getting writing. The authors use their decades of real-life journalism and marketing expertise to demonstrate the WTFF technique: Writing, Topping, Formatting, and Fixing.
You’ll learn how to eviscerate your own writing—and enjoy doing so. You’ll learn to create must-click subject lines, cut jargon, and write emails that people will actually read and remember.
If you’ve ever felt nervous to hit a “submit” button, this book is for you.
