Welcome to

WORDCRAFT ACADEMY

Never before has the published word been as sharable, plentiful and powerful as it is today. The opportunities for marketers are immense. But the competition for readers’ attention is fierce. 

We’ve created our syllabus of original courses to help marketing writers craft copy and content that cuts through the noise and hits all the right notes. With expert guidance you’ll discover how to engage your audience, shape opinion and inspire action, making every word count across the full range of written media.

For fifteen years we’ve helped people like you to increase the return on their words. We’ve worked with some of the country’s biggest brands to refine their messaging, and also with some of its smallest, helping them find their voice.

All our courses are shaped by this ongoing engagement, constantly evolving to stay on top of the latest trends while remaining true to the timeless foundations of persuasive and engaging writing.
