Should We Teach Literature Students How To Analyze Texts Algorithmically? ⚙ Co. When the U.K. newspaper the Sunday Times outed J.K.
Rowling as the author of detective novel The Cuckoo’s Calling earlier this year, computer scientists were among the first people called in. Although the novel was published under the pen name Robert Galbraith, two computational scholars--including Duquesne University’s Patrick Juola--were tasked with confirming or denying whether the novel belonged to the Harry Potter author, or one of three other possible writers. That Juola succeeded (his conclusions were later confirmed by Rowling herself) speaks volume about the the potential that algorithms and computer science can have, even with application to a field as notoriously subjective as literature. Which raises an interesting question: Can we use software to help us think about literature? Reverse Engineering J.K. To explore that question, we should first look at how the Juola cracked Rowling’s writing style. “Nothing that we’re doing is magic,” Juola said recently about the process.

Here’s how to get people to respond to your emails. Hey. Neville here. The KopywritingKourse guy. I'm not here to talk, I'm here to TEACH. So let's begin... If you suck at writing (and I'll presume you’re average), this is probably your problem. LET'S PRETEND YOU'RE A SALESPERSON ...and you're trying to get a new client by emailing them. You sit down to write a "nice introductory" email like this: Good afternoon Mr. Wrong... By now, Mr. Why on earth would Mr. He DOES have to sit there and read your boorring schpiel that every other steel company sends him 20 times a day. He probably feels like contacting you back would result in more bore-fest conversation.
Delete button. All that time spent trying to gain a new client just went down in flames. How dare you send Mr. Mr. Did your email help him with ANY of that? See where I'm going with this...? Remember this: People will buy from you if they trust you. In one email it's difficult to make someone trust you, like you, AND show your product is better... ...so let's focus on HELPING SOMEONE.
