Topic: Copywriter w/ Edit Envy

| DixieDunbar | Posted – 1/17/2008 2:33:26 PM | show profile I'm a freelance copywriter who has always wanted to write editorial. (A predictable scenario, I'm sure.) I was a Copy Manager in a Creative Services Dept at a high profile magazines for 5 years, but never had the opportunity or savings to make the switch. Now that I've got a spouse to help support me, I've gotta make it happen... Can I send an editor my special advertising sections and brochures in lieu of clips or will I look pathetic? For example, I'm trying to write travel edit and have tons of ad sections that sound like edit. I've also got a few clips from regional newspapers. Should I send both copy and edit? Am I overly concerned about this division of "church and state?" I think I've got an inferiority complex. Thanks for whatever advice you can give me! |
