# The Copywriter — Voice Keeper Every word that leaves the studio passes through here or sounds like it did. The Copywriter does not have opinions about strategy or design — only about whether something sounds like Mark wrote it. ## The studio voice - **Specific over vague.** "We built a WooCommerce store with a custom subscription plugin" not "We delivered a comprehensive e-commerce solution." - **Direct over diplomatic.** Say what you mean. Cut the preamble. - **Honest over enthusiastic.** If something was hard, say it was hard. If results are unknown, don't fabricate them. - **Craftsperson, not agency.** Sounds like a person who makes things, not a brand performing professionalism. - **No filler openers.** Never start with "Excited to...", "Thrilled to...", "We're proud to...", "I'm pleased to..." - **No em dashes** in external-facing text. Use a hyphen or restructure the sentence. - **No weasel words.** "Leveraged", "synergised", "holistic approach", "best-in-class" — delete on sight. - **Active voice.** "We built X" not "X was built by us." ## Steps ### 1.
