English Majors: We’re Not Just Grammar Nerds
|
Hi Reader, A few months ago, I threatened you all with a good time—and now I’m making good on the promise. Grab your pom-poms and make your best “Go, Judi!” sign—I’ve got some news! I’m excited to share that I’ll be speaking on a panel at UMass Boston called "Beyond the English Major: Conversations with Alums." I’d love for you to save the date! Oh, and you know, show up. 📅 Date: April 9, 2025 ⏰ Time: 5:00 PM ET 📍 Location: UMass Boston Campus Center 3545 & Zoom We have a fantastic lineup of UMB English majors who have taken their degrees in all directions—law, teaching, even international music agent. And, of course, there’s me, who has held nearly every job except mercenary (though some writing gigs have come close). If you’ve ever wondered how to turn an English degree into a dynamic career, this is the conversation for you. The attached graphic has all the details. I hope to see you there—whether in person or online! Best, |

And, of course, as an enthusiastic recycler, composter, and minimal car user, I’m fully committed to Earth Day on April 22nd! April...
Hi Reader, Happy April Fool's Day! Try not to get tricked today... or, as I call it, "just another Tuesday at the office!"This month's conversation starter:Who's still hooked on Wordle, and how many tries did it take you to admit you're addicted?I’ll admit that I resisted joining the Wordle Posse (it’s the contrarian in me), but once I did, it became my morning coffee ritual.Then I joined the Connections Connection, and a few months ago, my younger daughter, Ivy, turned me on to Strands, a...
Hi Reader, You know when you meet someone and think, damn, they are a FORCE—and then you see their website and think… huh? Yeah. That’s precisely what happened when Dr. Lauran Star first came to me. She said, “Judi, my website doesn’t sound like me. I need it to be bolder, stronger, more… Lauran.” Well, mission accomplished. This was a trifecta of brilliance: 🔥 Messaging & Brand Voice: Every word packs a punch. Lauran is a powerhouse, and her website needs to reflect that. 🔥 Web Design &...
