Newsletter Copy

Throughout my time at Wondermind, I worked on the company's newsletter. For the first six months or so, I was in charge of writing a few different sections. Those often involved motivational reminders and "therapy speak" breakdowns. My focus shifted to articles once Wondermind's website launched, but I continued to contribute to the newsletters regularly. Here are some clips.

• I wrote most of the section and graphics copy in this newsletter on singlehood loneliness

• I wrote most of the section and graphics copy in this newsletter on work loneliness

• I wrote the "Un-Jargon This" section

• I wrote the "TGI-EFF THAT" section here and here

• I wrote the "Weekly Wind Down" and "Highly Recommend" sections in this Wondermind newsletter
