Any resources to help get better at copywriting and story telling? I’m a more data driven strategist- really good at breaking down problems, finding insights etc, but want to strengthen my writing skills more. I realize I stopped reading fiction after college and figured this also might be one of the reasons my writing skills have been lacking.

Just push yourself to read, and read widely. Pay attention to how good writers pull together research and use it to get into your head. And think about that, about how writing happens in the reader's head. Think about all you can leave out, because what you leave in will let the reader construct that on their own. And that will help make a connection with them.

I've really enjoyed Terry Pratchett's writing style when it comes to brief writing. His series, discworld, is also wildly entertaining so that helps.
