Case study: 'My Voice' books for the Association of Jewish Refugees

These powerful, first person stories begin their own story as words recorded by dedicated volunteers.

Does perfection really matter?

I was talking to a copywriter client last week about his website, which we are in the process of creating, and he happened to say hard it was writing his own words. I hear this a lot and it’s the same for me with my promotional work and this website. When you go public it’s scary isn’t it?
