You were born to write.
It’s that thing you’ve always done or wanted to do.
It was your most awarded skill at school, your secret side-hustle while doing that other job, your deepest, darkest desire kept alive by the enduring belief that you KNOW you'll be a great writer!
It’s a fire that burns so brightly and finally - FINALLY - you’re taking steps to become a freelance writer.
But, your feet are on the ground.
While you adore the agony of writing you are under no illusions about the romance of the craft.

This is a commercial trade you’re entering! You want to show up, deliver the goods and get paid!
Yet a tricksy troll is blocking your path...
How are you supposed to get clients without a portfolio? And how are you supposed to build a portfolio without clients?
Every copywriter will tell you, if you want to be a writer, get writing.
They’ll also tell you to make up your own briefs. Which is great advice. But it left me stumped. I didn’t know what a brief might look like let alone how to make one up.
And honestly, most businesses don’t know HOW to brief. So while you can practice all you like, half the game is in taking, clarifying and confirming the brief.
That’s why this mini-course offers you three things.
- Real-life briefs that you can assess and respond to. Practice figuring out what you’d charge for them, what qualifying questions you might ask about them and, of course, writing them!
- An honest, fire-side recording of me, Helen Dibble, B2B copywriter and founder of Incredibble, telling you more about the briefing process from client, agency and writer perspective.
- A bonus brief-taking template worth £197 so when you secure that first client, you know exactly what to ask.

How much time should I put aside for the course?
Complete the briefs at your own pace. I don't recommend you do them all in one go - good writing needs rest.
The video takes around 20 minutes to watch. The bonus template can be used as and when you need it.

Can I really use these briefs in my portfolio?
Pick and choose depending on your speciality, and which you feel you've responded to best.
Always be authentic. Mark practice briefs as practice briefs. Don't pretend you've written for a brand or business when you haven't - that could get into serious trouble!
