Hello, I'm currently based in Falmouth. My question is-- in order to have a successful copywriting career, is it advisable to move to London, where most of the jobs seem to be?
How can you copyright work that you have written so that you can pitch it to creatives without them stealing your ideas?
One of my writing projects involves a lot of First World War poetry, some of which is about to come into the public domain. Where would I need to go to find the copyright for this?
Hello, I'm based in Redhill, Surrey. My question - how do you maintain a constant flow of copywriting opportunitiesr? Is it about having specific days for pitching, developing a list of organisations to pitch to, delivering pitches, writing etc?
Hello.
I've done a fair bit as a freelance journalist, but how do I make that transition to copywriting? Who should I pitch to first? Should I demonstrate my journalistic credentials or is it irrelevant? And how do I work out my rates?
I am currently working as a marketing intern for an arts organisation in London, and have discovered I enjoy copywriting.
What steps would you recommend I take to move forward in this career after I have completed my internship?
