This Seattle copywriter is always on the lookout for ways to be a smarter, better marketing writer. But spare me the tomes. I, like so many marketers (people!), have little time for self-improvement, despite the desire. That's why I like email newsletters and short guides. They're easy to read, digest and put into action.

Here's a short guide that I recently downloaded and can recommend: Top 10 Ways to Energize Your Sales and Marketing. In it, Steve MacDonald of StudioHDV has all the text broken into bite-size chunks, and a take away for every "way" he describes. Handy. And re-energizing. Reminders of what we should be doing, and new ideas too. Applicable to small business marketing and big business too!
