'I can highly recommend the Write Better Newsletters Course. My mentor Susan Williams provided excellent feedback and I learnt a lot. Practising how to make otherwise boring newsletter content engaging was especially beneficial. Due to Susan, our company’s quarterly newsletter has definitively improved.'
