Become a better writer with a copy buddy.
Most writers plateau writing alone: no real feedback, no accountability, no one to push them. A copy buddy fixes all three.

The heycopy manifesto
Hi, my name is Simon Sovič and I'm the founder of HeyCopy. I built HeyCopy because I believe that copywriting is one of the most value adding skills that all product builders and indie hackers must have.
However, most copywriters, creators, crafters and hackers have no idea how to improve their writing. I spoke with over 40 copywriters, creators and indie hackers and found that the number one thing that most improved their writing was a Copy Buddy.
“Wait. What's a Copy Buddy?” You (probably)
A copy buddy is an accountability partner with a similar skillset and goal of improving writing. It's someone you talk with and bounce back ideas or feedback. It's a mutually beneficial partnership where the only goal is growth.
What's interesting is that even though a copy buddy system helped a lot of people improve their writing, there's no platform that helps you get a copy buddy. And that's why I built HeyCopy, a FREE community that connects people who want to improve writing skills.

Why HeyCopy?
Because getting a copy buddy is the best way to improve your writing and it should be easier to get one.
Getting a dedicated copy buddy is hard
Most people like you and I have no idea where and how to find a copy buddy to improve writing. HeyCopy makes it super easy to get a serious copy buddy.
Everyone is vetted through a call
I want to get to know everyone that signs up to learn about your experiences and background. We want total honesty about availability and expectations.
Matching based on experience
After you sign up and go through the vetting process, you'll be matched with a copy buddy with similar experience level, motivation and interests.
Aligned incentives
Everyone is here to improve writing skills. When you're matched with a copy buddy, you'll know that on the other side of the screen is a person just as excited to improve their skills as you.
Reviews keep everyone honest
After you've worked with a copy buddy for some time, I'll reach out and ask for a review. Reviews stay private and only influence future matches.
It's absolutely FREE
I'm doing this because it's a problem I personally live. HeyCopy is and always will be free to use.
How does it work?
It all happens in 3 easy steps. Signup, hop on a call and get introduced to your copy buddy.
Sign up using this form
Hop on a 15 min vetting call
As you signup, I'll send you an email with a Calendly link so that we can hop on a call. This call is primarily to ensure that you're a real human eager to become a better writer and not some bot up to no good. I'll ask you about past experiences, your writing goals and the type of writing you're interested in.
Matching and intros
Next I'll match you with somebody that is on your level to ensure that this will be a mutually beneficial copy buddy experience. I'll introduce you and give you a framework and tips to make your copy buddy experience as amazing as possible. But I can only go so far. The writing and the dedication to the process is on you.
What does it actually look like?
- Most pairs meet once a week, 30 to 60 minutes on Zoom, Google Meet, or async text.
- You share work in progress and get honest feedback. Then you give it back.
- After the intro call, Simon gives you a session framework and agenda to keep things focused.
- Typical commitment: 1–2 hours per week.

Real writers, real growth.

Frequently
asked
questions
Why is it 100% FREE? How will you make money from this?
I'm doing this because it's a problem I personally live. The copy buddy matching service should be free, period. Future monetization ideas include a paid tier for finding copy mentors (not buddies) and a playbook for writers. But the core service stays free.
How long until I get matched after signing up?
Usually within 1–2 weeks of your vetting call. The timeline depends on finding someone at a compatible experience level and availability. I'll keep you updated every step of the way.
Is this for beginners or do I need to be experienced?
Both welcome. You're matched with someone at a similar level, so you don't need to be a professional copywriter. The only requirement is genuine motivation to improve your writing.
How often should copy buddies meet?
Most pairs meet once a week for 30 to 60 minutes. Some prefer async, sharing work by email or Slack and giving written feedback. You and your buddy decide what works best.
How do copy buddies actually communicate?
Entirely up to you. Most pairs use Zoom or Google Meet for sessions and email or Slack for async work sharing. After the intro, Simon gives you a framework for your first session.
What happens if my buddy goes quiet?
It's rare because of the vetting process, but it does happen. Message me at simon@heycopy.io and I'll either re-engage them or find you a new match. No one gets left hanging.
I would like to change buddies, what can I do?
That's completely understandable. Message me at simon@heycopy.io and we'll figure it out.
What's the typical duration of a copy buddy partnership?
It varies. Some are looking for a set time period, others keep it going for years. The goal is not just copy improvement but also the friendships and connections you make along the way.
This is what a copy buddy conversation looks like
Real talk. Real feedback. Real growth.
