Not Just About Copy – The Community

A supportive membership community – for small business owners and freelancers who want to build sustainable writing habits and get valuable copy feedback surrounded by like-minded folk. We’re all in this together.

Not Just About Copy: The Community

‘Getting into a good content rhythm was a high priority and connecting with like-spirited people.’

VIREN THAKRAR, IN THE GAME

Inside the copywriting community, you’ll:

  • Get access to all-important copy support from a copy coach and educator
  • Get the accountability – and company – you need to create content consistently
  • Develop connections with a community of like-minded folk who ‘get’ small business
  • Create sustainable writing habits and practices that work for you
  • Grow your confidence in your brand messaging, tone of voice and writing style.

PLUS, you’ll save money by upskilling and taking ownership of some key copy assets. Hooray!

Here’s what people say…

‘The regular sessions were so valuable, hearing from and sharing with other small business owners in a safe, non-judgemental way. I realised that [writing copy is] not super scary. What’s shifted is my ability to feel comfy with being ‘me’ when writing copy and trusting my gut that what I have to say is valuable. I walked away with content I could actually use. Without the accountability, I wouldn’t have written anything.’

– EMMA PAWSON, LEARNING DESIGNER

‘Having the support and accountability to produce content was what really appealed to me. The focus on a specific area was really interesting. Dedicated time to work on writing (with accountability and feedback) made it incredibly valuable during a time when I wouldn’t have completed any content creation without it.’

– CATH CONNELL, COACH

‘I was already a follower and listener of your content, so trusted that you had a lot of knowledge and wisdom to share. I felt I would be getting valuable advice from a great teacher that would help me grow my skillset in a new marketing position. My expectations were exceeded! I now have a regular writing practice and confidence knowing that having words on the page means I have something to edit.’

– SIONA CAMPBELL, HEALTHY BUSINESS FINANCES

What shakes down inside the membership community? Here’s what.

Co-writing

Take action on your small business content in these hands-on sessions. From email newsletters to social media posts, website copy updates and more – there’s always something to write. Set your intention, shut off your distractions and we’re away. You’ll be amazed what you can achieve in a focused block of time.

In these sessions, you’ll:

  • Get company to co-write alongside with – we’re in this together
  • Make all-important time for implementation – it’s ‘working on the biz’ time
  • Write copy you can share straight away with your community – or that will move the needle for your business for months (and years) to come.

Copy Q&A

BYO burning questions about copywriting fundamentals, writing habits and practices, tone of voice, messaging and more. No question is off-limits. I’m here to help you move through whatever’s blocking you to a place of clarity and confidence.

In these sessions, you’ll:

  • Get answers to the questions you’ve been too afraid to ask
  • Learn by listening to the questions of others and my responses
  • Build your confidence to back your own writing, build your own habits and own your tone of voice.

Copy Hot Seat

Get expert eyes on your copy and practical advice to improve it. From emails to website pages or social media captions, bring along any piece of copy, an open mind and find out how to take it from meh to wow or good to great! It’s not scary…promise.

In these sessions, you’ll:

  • Get valuable, actionable feedback on a piece of copy – or tips to move it forward
  • Learn loads by watching others in the hot seat and considering how to apply the advice
  • Build your copywriting confidence, along with your bank of small biz copy assets.

A growing resource library

Get access to a growing library of companion Not Just About Copy resources, tools & templates to make writing for your business that much easier.

These resources:

  • Will help you implement the strategies I cover on the podcast, from writing website copy to building a word bank
  • Are designed to support you in your unique writing way by providing guidance not a one-size-fits-all template.

‘Dedicated time to write (with accountability and feedback) made it incredibly valuable.’

Your questions, answered.

Sessions rotate through weekdays Mon-Fri. So in a typical month, there may be a Monday session, Wednesday session, Thursday session and Friday session for example. Sessions typically occur between the hours of 10am-2pm AEST. e.g. 10-11am, or 1-2pm.

As this is not a structured course, there’s no impact on sequential learning. But, all Q&A and Hot Seat sessions are recorded and live in the portal – catch up anytime.

No, it’s not. All genders are warmly welcomed at Emma McMillan Copy HQ.

It takes time to figure out whether a community is the right fit. By the time you’ve been with us for a few months, you’ll get a sense of the rhythm of the events and have had time to explore the resources. If you then decide not to continue your membership, just reach out 7 days before your subscription renews and we’ll happily take care of that for you.
