The Grumpy Grammarian

Copy Editing

Pedantic grammarians wield their red-pen gavels, hammering 400-year-old grammar rules into your mind with no regard for deeper meaning. Instead of considering the intent behind these rules — like clarity, conciseness, or persuasion — these sticklers follow grammar rules to the letter. Even if it means sucking the life out of your copywriting.

As a copywriter, your job is to sell your clients’ products or services, not get a pat on the back from your 5th grade Language Arts teacher.

This is where the art of copy editing comes in. It’s like mixing paint colors to create a masterpiece… It’s about embracing the spirit of grammar rules. So you can strategically deviate from them and turn boring copywriting into pure persuasion gold.

With a little creativity focused on rule breaking, even the most ordinary copy can be sculpted into a masterpiece of persuasion — capable of compelling the audience into action while leaving a lasting impact.

So, the next time you’re looking to turn your copywriting into a persuasion masterpiece, consider hiring me to be your copy editor. I’m not afraid to throw the grammar rule book away and make your copywriting legendary.
