About DFW

Damn Fine Words is my baby. My legacy. You know… that ONE thing you really want to do, the ONE thing you really care about.

Damn Fine Words is one of the best online writing courses you’ll ever see. It’s for business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers and bloggers like you who want to learn better, more effective writing skills so your business can generate more results for you.

It took me a full year to build this course. I worked at it very hard and very carefully, putting thought into each lesson, what you should learn, and what the course should help you achieve. I’m not done, either – the course is continually improving and expanding further with new modules and lessons all the time.

Consider it a writing university in the making.

James ChartrandAbout James, Your Instructor

I’m James Chartrand, a leading copywriter, problogger, published author, online business consultant, online entrepreneur and the renowned owner of Men with Pens, a popular blog and leading web design/copywriting business.

Men with Pens was selected as a Top Ten Blog for Writers for four years running (not that I was counting) and a Top 15 Copywriting and Content Marketing Blogs That Makes You Money – now that’s something to be proud of!

I’ve also featured in major media including Intuit, Newsweek, and Huffington Post (to name a few) and contribute regularly to top sites including Copyblogger.

Trivia facts:

I love ice-skating, jet-fuel-strength coffee, and fine Shiraz – not all at the same time, of course. That would be dangerous. And not always in the same order, either.

I also have two daughters with 11 years between them and a significant other who cooks a mean steak and loves ice-skating as much as I do. And yes, I’m a woman.

Ainslie HunterAbout Ainslie, Your Support Staff

Ainslie Hunter is an online education specialist (she even has a Masters!) from Courses that Matter who provides ongoing consultation and teaching support to Damn Fine Words. She makes sure this entire course provides top-notch education and the best learning environment possible.

Every lesson, handout, assignment and task has been meticulously examined, organized and structured by Ainslie’s razor-sharp eyes so that material is easy to understand and delivers valuable, immediately applicable knowledge. You’ll see the results for yourself.

Her career philosophy revolves around three keys to successful mastery of knowledge: interaction, support, and caring about helping people learn. In fact, this philosophy is what we feel makes Damn Fine Words the best online writing course ever.

Trivia facts:

Ainslie loves Irish castles, traveling the world and Coca Cola (leaded, not diet). She has a lovely husband willing to trade off parenting a spirited daughter for cooking delicious meals, grins wickedly in the face of challenge, and – much to James’ dismay – hates red wine and fears ice-skating with a passion.
