OP Okay! You all did such a fab job with my plea for help defining 'copywriter' I thought I'd challenge you again.
I call myself a copywriter.
Sometimes I say 'copywriter and editor', as I'll edit people's text, as well as create from scratch. And I've copy-edited books.
Recently, I've been saying 'Web Writer' to get across the speciaism of writing websites. But some designers say I'm losing the chance of writing for print.
And then those definitions:
*copy~writers.. professional writers of advertisements ... a writer of copy for the press; spec. a writer of advertising copy
In fact, I rarely write ads. I do lots of below the line stuff: brochures, leaflets, training manuals, product literature, sales letters ...
... and websites.
So -- is 'Copywriter' the best word? Or 'Technical Writer'? Or 'Business Writer'? Or just plain 'Writer'?
Just thought I'd ask!!
