Excerpt from Firebox’s About Page

After you’re done, I invite you to visit the page ^^ and scroll further down. You may enjoy it 😉

Don’t forget the hyphen — I use it all the time.
Your points, it emphasizes — it really makes them shine.

A well-placed hyphen humanizes your writing. It’s raised eyebrows and a lifted index finger, or a dramatic pause, or when you interrupt yourself to add a juicy detail to your dinner story as you gesticulate with your glass.

We read enough stale business email as it is.

You glance at your watch.

It’s 6:28. You’ve been at it since 3.
Your hot date is at 7. Crap. Running late. Sink shower it is.
Nowhere close to done editing…

“…at least all the ideas are laid out, so there’s that. Did I miss anything? I don’t think so? Ok, but how do I make it flow? I need to get the final draft to Stacey for design asap, team cutoff is at noon Thursday…”

You’ve spent dinner completely distracted. Your date just took off. You go home exhausted, plod to your desk, and crack open the laptop.

Or… it could go like this:

5:41 — you’re out of the shower and lip-syncing.
6:17 — dressed to the nines and zenned out.
7:03 — the sunset glints off your aviators as you smile hello.
8:36 — it actually feels like you’re hitting it off. Not just hot, funny to boot.
Next morning, 10:27 — polished draft ready in your inbox.
10:31 — Stacey messages back, “thanks, looks good!”

The difference?

You had Copygloss handle it yesterday afternoon.
