"why don't you become a teacher, bitch?"
(a college full of short and long courses on all things copywriting)
You and your teacher are in a classroom.
And they wanna know what you're interested in. What your future dream career is.
So, you tell them you like writing.
They stare at you as if 'writing' is code for glitter encrusted dildos.
"Hm. Well. Writing isn't exactly...stable. I think if you enjoy English, you should probably become a teacher. Best bet."
But before you can tell them FUCK NO, you're pushed out the door and the next kid is forced in to talk about a career he will end up hating for the rest of his life.
And now?
A couple years on?
You're still young and hot but you're young and hot and broke and have no clue what you're doing with your life and writing is totally out of the question (obviously) and you decide you'll probably just need to settle with a job that makes you happy-ish because all jobs kind of suck and it's not a dream world out there and -
it doesn't need to end that way
you can write for a living.
you can 'back to the future' the past few years of your life and get another chance
another chance to go to school and learn how to write for a living.
IN A CAREER CALLED COPYWRITING.
Now, some of you already know about the Word Tonic Copywriting College.
But if you don’t….It’s sorta like our online ‘campus’ of copywriting courses. Courses that are designed to show you the way and help yopu make a living from writing…even if you have no experience.

TASTER WEEK DIARIES
Have a looksie at some of our past TASTER WEEK students' experiences
📖 Dear Diary,
What a absolute whirlwind of a week.
I officially finished Word Tonic’s "Sell Yourself Without the Ick" college taster week, and honestly? My brain is buzzing in the best way possible.
Self-promotion has always felt a bit cringe to me, but the live lesson on creating LinkedIn posts was a total game-changer. I picked up some super helpful, practical tips that actually made writing for LinkedIn feel natural—and totally ick-free.
The real test, though, was the breakout rooms. Carolyn, our fearless Word Tonic leader, lovingly pushed me right out of my comfort zone to jump in and participate. I was definitely nervous at first, but having that gentle nudge was exactly what I needed. It turned out to be such a warm, supportive space.
By the end of the week, joining was a complete no-brainer. I officially signed up for Word Tonic’s 2-month residency program! Looking back now, it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. That single taster week opened the door to a whole community, and I’ve already met so many genuinely amazing people because of it.
Here’s to stepping outside the comfort zone and finding your crowd! 🚀 ✨
Dear Diary,
Today was the day of the taster call. How was I feeling? Nervous? Excited? On a roller coaster that you can’t escape from.
Soitjustkeepsgoingaroundandaround.
Yeah. All three.
But I wanted to try, if only to put myself a bit more out there, to declare to the world: ‘I AM REBECA HEAR ME ROAR!’
Well, maybe not the roar part. I’m a sloth‑speed Leo.
Turns out I was worried for nothing. The call was a blast. Like being back at school, except fun — which I didn’t know was possible.
Also: hot teacher. Ahem. Looking respectfully, Miss McMurray.
Anyway. Mind out of the gutter. It wasn’t that kind of lesson. She was simply dominating us with… ICE BREAKERS.
Yes. Those things that make you cringe at school. But when you’re trapped going willingly into a room with like‑minded people it’s not so bad.
We were told to discuss things we hate with a passion. You know, the kind of things that make you curse at the TV, that make you boil over in rage and erupt like Mt. Vesuvius.
Those things.
Unfortunately, I’ve been watching the news, so my brain was already marinating in politics. Which meant my answer was obvious:
The tango man. Donald Trump. Enough said.
So, I hear you ask, what’s the point of talking about hate?
Well, the point is we then WROTE about what we hated. And that, in fact, can tell you a lot about…
TONE OF VOICE.
Because to hate is to feel passionate vitriol about something, and that then reveals a lot about YOU and also your WRITING STYLE.
That was the end of day one, dear diary, and it left me excited for day 2.

WTF IS
WORD TONIC THO?
We're an online copywriting community for young people, by young people ON A MISSION TO MAKE WRITING FOR A LIVING MORE ACCESSIBLE.
But mission statements are boring, so we're gonna give you five truths and one lie.
Read the list and see if you can spot THE LIE.
FACTS ABOUT WORD TONIC:
- we've got 1500 members from all over the WORLD!
- we've done more than 100+ live masterclasses with writers from brands like Pokemon and Disney
- our name is inspired by an episode of My Little Pony
- we've collabed with brands like PUMA in COPYWRITING CHALLENGES where you can win internships
- we've done live events with brands like LEGO where we talked about dolphins having sex
- we're founded by a 26 year old copywriter - Carolyn - who doesn't have a degree and used to be a sex worker and wanted to create a safe, female-led space FOR EVERYONE, no matter where they come from
did you spot the lie?
THE LIE WASSSSS...
...
THE MY LITTLE PONY BS.
The name 'Word Tonic' didn't come from a program about talking pink ponies.
(it actually came from Carolyn's ex EX boyfriend who tried to bang her mum. Long story).
But yeah. All that other stuff is true. And we think that makes us pretty cool.
And if you read this far, you think we're pretty cool too.
