Ep. 402 – Close reading as the bridge to clear writing

from Just Saying - The BRIEF Lab

A colleague of mine, Grace Foster, wrote an insightful article for Forbes magazine this summer about the value of English majors in an age of AI. Specifically, she shares the value of “close reading” as a skill that we all should have: slow down, be critical, and understand how to turn good writing into something great. In this episode, I share her perspectives and mine to make this one of your core communication skills. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gracefoster/2026/07/14/english-majors-can-teach-us-how-to-be-indispensable-in-the-age-of-ai/ The post Ep. 402 – Close reading as the bridge to clear writing appeared first on Just Saying.
