Visible, invisible, A fluctuating charm, An amber-colored amethyst Inhabits it; your arm Approaches, and It opens and It closes; You have meant To catch it, And it shrivels; You abandon Your intent— It opens, and it Closes and you Reach for it— The blue Surrounding it Grows cloudy, and It floats away From you.

remember being kids: mermaids in the pool, shaking out our legs as if they were tails, like fresh sheets being hung in the wind our hair flowing wildly behind us, cluttered with starfish and shells and pearls taking deeper and deeper breaths and deeper and deeper dives our words neat bubbles rising to the surface the world a blue and green swirl, a haze, the tint of laughter 🐚🪸🌊 photo by @objet_la_ny #theeditist #mermaids #writing #creativewriting #theeditistanbul #editing #istanbul #poetry #words #amwriting #writingcommunity
“And what do I risk to tell you this, which is all I know? Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world.” From “To Begin With, the Sweet Grass” by the inimitable and wonderful Mary Oliver. When I want to touch something that brings me back to feeling, when I need inspiration or yearn for a way to reignite awareness, I look for Mary Oliver. There are so many beautiful lines in this poem, I urge you to fall deeply into it on this sweet spring morning. #maryoliver #tobeginwiththesweetgrass #poetry #green #nature #awareness #self #editing #translation #theeditist #istanbul #editorsinistanbul #theditistbookclub #theeditistrecommends #copywritingistanbul #copywritingbrasil

Close out your year with grace and gratefulness - and a tender renewal ritual. @ribbon_flowers has the perfect candle for this ritual: Petrichor, the deep, sweet smell of the earth after being cleansed by a rainstorm. A rich and woodsy blend of papyrus and sandalwood to usher in the new. In a quiet and favorite room, light the candle. Reflect about your year: what you have done, what has happened to you, what you have made happen. Breathe in and be thankful for it all, good, bad, beautiful, ugly, pleasureful, and painful. Thank yourself. Everything was necessary. Slowly exhale, and let whatever no longer seves you out. You’ve cleansed your heart, washed it anew and made it strong. Set your intentions for 2023 with love and purpose. When you’re ready, gently blow out the candle, and go out into the world once more.

copy editing for the beautiful swatches of color, tradition, and vibrant uniqueness in @meleztea’s “Universe” collection. Drinking these teas is like a long, leisurely afternoon looking through your grandmother’s travel diaries and photo albums from wild adventures past. 💙 We live in a world where walls are continuously erected, where differences are condemned and where hatred is propagated. But we still believe in the goodness of humanity, in celebrating our differences and tearing down the walls that separate us. This is the essence of melez. Meaning mestizo or from mixed races, melez was inspired by Istanbul, a melting pot of cultures and credos. This collection is a reminder that every culture has something unique and beautiful to be celebrated; it is a hymn to the world’s wide array of exquisite colors, traditions and stories.

ARE YOU LISTENING? I mean are you REALLY listening to your customers, and not just superficially hearing their feedback, complaints or praise? Take a step back and ask yourself the following questions before starting your copy strategy. * What do your customers care about? * Does your business solve a problem in their lives? Or enhance something in their lives? * Who are your competitors? What are their strengths and weaknesses? What can you take from their strategies? * What makes your brand “sticky,” a term coined by @harvard_business_review ? What makes them actually follow through with buying your product, buying it repeatedly, and recommending it to others? (The answer is simplicity! See the next point). * How can you make your brand stick? Easy navigation, build trust, and make it easy to weigh their options. How easily can your customer make the decision to buy your product? Can they easily find info about your products? Can they trust that information? Is it easy for them to compare the information for your Product A and Product B? * What’s your customer looking for? Are they ready to commit to a purchase or just starting to look into the product? * Are you using easy to understand language? Don’t put the technical lingo front and center. Ready to lend your customer an ear and write the right copy for them ?👂🏻 You know who to call (it’s us, it’s not the Ghostbusters). 📣 www.editist.com 📣 . . . #theeditist #editing #writing #copywriting #copyediting #brandmessage #contentcreation #creativity #branding #istanbul #turkishbrands #copywriter #marketing #digitalmarketing #stickiness #contentwriter #copywritingtips #contentcreator #umbertodaina #copy #creativecopywriter #marketingdigital #creative #storytelling #copywritersofinstagram #writingtips #listentoyouraudience #harvardbusinessreview #womeninbusiness
We often believe that creativity is something inaccessible and mysterious - a spur of the moment thing, a jolt of inspiration, a blessing from the muses. In reality, creativity is like any other skill: everyone has the potential to be creative, but you have to work at it. You have to think, read, and learn about your passion, its industry, techniques and history. You have to collaborate with others and be open to different perspectives. You have to be flexible. You have to have down time, to be able to let your mind wander and daydream, because it’s often when the mind is distracted by other things that a solution to the question you’ve been mulling over appears. You have to generate lots of ideas, but be able to choose one that’s worth the work, that you can stretch and pull and shatter to make a great idea. You have to embrace failure. But you also have show up at your desk to break through your creative block. It might take hours to write a single word or devise a solution to fix a design flaw, but the more often you do it, the more innate it becomes. And readers, we’ve done it a lot. You’re busy being an entrepreneurial powerhouse, tending to an outrageous number of important aspects and details of your business - how can you be expected to devote additional time and creativity to your copy? That’s where we step in. We can fashion your copy into a creative force that drives innovation and connects you to your audience. The only muse we need is you. 🧚🏼♀️ www.edit.ist 🧚🏻 #theeditist #editing #writing #copywriting #copyediting #brandmessage #contentcreation #nobadmondays #creativity #branding #istanbul #turkishbrands #copywriter #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmedia #contentwriter #copywritingtips #contentcreator #freelancewriter #copy #creativecopywriter #marketingdigital #creative #storytelling #copywritersofinstagram #writingtips #blogger #writersofinstagram #womeninbusiness

WHEN WE’RE TOO CLOSE TO IMAGINE One of the reasons brands work with us is because they’re often too close to their project to be objective. When you devote your every breath to creating something new, something you’re so impassioned about that you can’t fall asleep at night because you’re too exhilarated or stressed about it, you become your project. And in that becoming, you lose sight of what it needs to thrive, of other viewpoints besides your own. Our job is to be objective and unconfined in creating copy that achieves your goals: to express your brand identity, transmit your brand message, and present your unique value proposition. We can offer you new perspectives on your project because we have the distance and freedom to be bold and creative. Ready to get some distance? Join us in creating a space to imagine and play in the possibilities. 🪐www.edit.ist 🚀 . . . #theeditist #editing #writing #copywriting #copyediting #brandmessage #contentcreation #gimmesomespace #perspective #branding #istanbul #turkishbrands #copywriter #marketing #digitalmarketing #entrepreneur #contentwriter #copywritingtips #contentcreator #freelancewriter #copy #creativecopywriter #marketingdigital #creative #storytelling #copywritersofinstagram #writingtips #blogger #writersofinstagram #womeninbusiness
You know that voice you hear when you read? How you slip into a completely different world and become absorbed in trying on someone else’s existence? It feels like genuine magic - but it’s actually the author and editor’s hard work. Writing is the constant pursuit of magic. It’s plucking a nearly invisible plume of smoke from the imagination, caressing and wrangling it into a reality, something textured and Technicolor vivid and intelligible. Did you just imagine that? Then we’re already making magic together. ✨www.edit.ist⚡️ . . . #theeditist #editing #writing #copywriting #copyediting #brandmessage #contentcreation #dovneon #inpursuitofmagic #branding #istanbul #turkishbrands #copywriter #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmedia #contentwriter #copywritingtips #contentcreator #freelancewriter #copy #creativecopywriter #marketingdigital #creative #storytelling #copywritersofinstagram #writingtips #blogger #writersofinstagram #womeninbusiness

ONE: One goal, one idea, one message. What is the single thing that consumers will take away from your brand? Your brand is more than one thing and might even offer a variety of products or services, but consumers tend to focus on a single thing, and that thing should be your unique value proposition. Your message should be relevant, simple, believable and resonant. Your brand message can be expressed differently in different content, but it should always refer to your unique value proposition.
