Copy is not written. If anyone tells you ‘you write copy’, sneer at them. Copy is not written. Copy is assembled. You do not write copy, you assemble it.

Eugene Schwartz emphasizes that copywriting is not merely a matter of writing words; it is the art of assembling different elements to create a persuasive message. Just like building a city requires combining various structures, effective copy requires putting together ideas and emotions that entice and engage the audience, inviting them into a desired action or mindset.
