Hey, there. I’m Ruth Hirsch, a creative copywriter based in Houston, Texas. I like solving problems through strategic thinking and just the right words. Here’s a little more about me.

The business stuff
I have over a decade of experience writing for technical, industrial, retail, business to business, and internal clients on a range of project types. Learn more here, or give me a shout at ruth.aubrey.hirsch@gmail.com.

The writer stuff
Look, I don’t claim to be a wise woman. (Honestly, anyone claiming their own wisdom should not be trusted.) But I’ve acquired a little knowledge during my time as a writer. Please enjoy these nuggets.

• It doesn’t matter how much your brain (and heart!) tell you otherwise—there’s always another solution for that headline.
• Hitting the creative wall is real. When in doubt, take a walk.
• New challenges should scare you a little. It means you give a damn about making something great.
• The best self-editing tool is time away from your own words.
• If you don’t believe writing is an act of care, just look at the people who do it. Inside, we’re all anxious, insecure overachievers seeking but a shred of validation. Oh, WE CARE.
• The best professional development course I ever took was five years of therapy.
• Feedback is like quicksand. Fight it, and you’re dead. Accept it, and you feel tingly everywhere. (That didn’t make sense, but look, feedback is really important.)
• “Write drunk, edit sober,” is a dangerous philosophy to live by during a pandemic.
• Writing is only fun once you’re done with it. But it’s worth it.

Have any writerly wisdom of your own? Disagree with anything here? Got questions or just wanna chat? Email me at ruth.aubrey.hirsch@gmail.com.

The person stuff
That’s right, I am a real human person! I enjoy cooking and eating vegan food, spending time with family, DRINKING COFFEE, listening to podcasts, and doing improv comedy whenever the world isn’t shut down.
