How to be a tactful editor and proofreader (Awards‪)‬ Clever Copy Chats

Welcome to another award winner's episode.
 
In these episodes, I’m talking to winners from the Clever Copywriting School Awards of 2022.

What are the challenges they’ve faced?
And common mistakes they see their peers making.
