DePaul University Incorporates Rubin Concepts into Senior Capstone Course
We’re pleased to announce Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, our book of email and writing guides, has made its way into the college classroom.
In a course at DePaul University in Chicago called PRAD 396 Senior Capstone Seminar, instructor Jill Stewart has required every student to read chapter 1 (“How to Write Everything Better”) to understand the fundamentals of clear, concise writing.
PRAD 396 (Public Relations ADvertising), an online course, teaches students the challenges of public relations and advertising through targeted writing exercises, critical reflection on readings and video presentations and participation in discussion boards.
Stewart believes Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, a collection of 100+ templates for networking, the job search and LinkedIn, and supporting online activities are the perfect complement to the PR and advertising lessons in the course. With the book, students learn how to write polished emails/documents, which can improve the job search and how they perform in the workplace.
“I believe the time invested in reading the first chapter of Danny Rubin’s book will make anyone a better writer, and in my case, a better teacher of writing,” said Stewart.
Stewart also encourages DePaul students to buy the book before graduation. Beyond the editing skills in chapter 1, it offers templates for writing scenarios like informational interviews, contacting alumni and creating a strong LinkedIn profile.
“Good writing skills can be the ticket to an internship, a job or a promotion,” said Stewart. “I now make the book required reading for all my capstone classes.”
Thank you to Jill Stewart and DePaul University for being an “early adopter” of the book. We appreciate the support!

Official Book Launch Party in Virginia Beach a Success
Thanks to everyone who came out on Thursday, November 5 for the official launch of my book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?. More info on the book here!
I held the book launch in coordination with a happy hour hosted by tHRive, the young professional division of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. We wined and dined on the outdoor patio at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Clear skies and temps in the 70s in early November…I’ll take it!
In the middle of the event, I spoke to the group and explained my approach for a smart follow-up email after a networking event. Relevant for a happy hour, right?
The paperback version of the book is available now. Kindle version coming soon!
A couple of pictures from the night:
Pardon the blurry face. Here, I discuss how to write a follow-up email to someone you met at a networking event. 
I hosted the book launch in conjunction with a young professional happy hour already taking place in town. Then Dan Hoffler (center), a well-known real estate developer in Hampton Roads (and a baby boomer), walked into the party and bought a copy of the book. Fine by me! Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

OK, let me step back and explain what the heck is going on.
My book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, is a collection of 100+ email and document templates for networking and the job search. My goal is to help the millennial generation compose smarter emails so they can start conversations, build relationships and propel their careers.
Page after page, I offer detailed instructions for networking (ex: how to contact alumni from your school) and the job search (ex: how to apply even if the company has no openings at the time). I also includes smart LinkedIn templates, memorable handwritten notes, the outline for a powerful one-page resume and a fresh cover letter strategy with a focus on storytelling.
I want the book to be your personal assistant as you launch a career or grow into one. So far the reviews are promising:
“Wait, How Do I Write This Email? is your new career glossary. You will find any template or quick idea to connect your career aspirations to a real person in a real, effective way. Don’t wait. Use it now!”
- Jon Mertz, author and founder of Thin Difference
