Glenn Stovall's Public Notebook

POP writing

You’re aiming for your writing to be a balance of Playful, Observational and Personal. Too much of one and it becomes, respectively, too surface level, too like a manual or too like an excerpt from your private journal. POP is about making writing memorable, and helping you write pieces that only you can write.

Putting it all together

  • POP is about being memorable. think about getting stuck in your reader's head like a catchy 'pop' song.
  • A truly memorable piece of writing has to have all three. A good piece has to have at least two.
