I have taken Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole's cohort-based course, Ship 30 for 30 three times starting in April 2023 and learned digital writing best practices and gained clarity on which topics resonate with my audience. Why am I back? The Ship 30 for 30 Community: I love the spirited discussions in the breakout room sessions following each live session with Dickie and Cole. Brainstorming with other digital writers from around the world is fun! Shippers are eager to learn and improve their writing skills. They are also kind and supportive. Inspiration: I get inspired by Dickie and Cole sharing “lean writing” success stories in their live sessions: how New York Times best-selling authors like Malcom Gladwell got their start writing short (atomic) stories and how fellow Shippers (and #Ship30for30 alumni) achieve success in digital writing. Continue to Write With the Reader In Mind: I find it helpful to hear Cole remind me that “You are not the main character in your story. The reader is. I plan to continue using the “FOR WHO am I writing/SO THAT they can achieve what outcome” framework so that I can provide value to my readers. Over the next 30 days, I plan on writing about food & beverage trends, job search tips, and personal branding. Join me on this adventure - and let me know if you have any questions along the way! I'm excited to start sharing what I know online.
