Help with 'Copywriter', please - 01/24/05 09:39 AM
Hi everyone!
This is my first visit -- and I'm impressed. From what I've seen, this is definitely the place to get my question answered. Looking at some of the things you discuss, this will be a piece of cake. . .
I need some help with explaining a very simple word -- Copywriter.
Let me explain. I've joined BNI and have to do a 10 minute presentation about my business. I'm a freelance copywriter, specialising in writing for the web. Straightforward, huh? Not a bit of it!
'Copywriter' causes problems because people immediately think of 'copyright' (sigh) and go charging off in the wrong direction. So I thought I'd start with defining copywriting, explaining where the word came from, and so forth.
Sadly, my dictionaries are boringly circumspect. So I wondered if anyone has any nice little explanations and illustrations.
This is a really urgent plea for help, as my brain has gone completely blank.![](/board/images/icons/frown.gif)
