Freelance Copywriter UK:
our copywriting agency is always on the lookout for the very best freelance copywriters and freelance business writers
For the best freelance copywriting talent, there are great rewards to being invited to join the Freelance Copywriter UK team. Through our unique collaboration with Copestone Copywriters Ltd, we have a steady stream of enjoyable, challenging and rewarding freelance copywriting and freelance business writing projects.
Attracting the best freelance writing talent to our copywriting agency
Our experience is that the best UK freelance copywriters and freelance business writers are already very busy, and doing very nicely, thank you. Yet those are just the people we want on our UK copywriting agency books, and our clients want on their copywriting projects. So how do we tempt them to come and work with us?
It is very simple: we find them interesting, enjoyably challenging projects, working for wonderful clients. Then we offer them decent rates, and we pay them on time, every time. In fact, we pride ourselves on paying our freelance copywriters' invoices immediately, so in most cases the freelance writer will have the full payment in their account three days after invoicing. Even if we are never paid (which, thankfully, is extraordinarily rare), our freelance writers always are. So once they agree to a Freelance Copywriter UK commission, they always know that payment will be made as soon as the copywriting has been successfully completed.
But there is a catch. In return, we expect our freelance copywriters and freelance business writers to produce truly outstanding copywriting that delivers the results our clients are paying for. Also, our clients often expect them to deliver the ‘impossible', whether that is beating ridiculously tight deadlines or producing just the right copy in spite of a rushed or sketchy client brief.
Are you already one of the UK's freelance copywriting superstars?
If you have already earned the right to call yourself one of the UK's best freelance copywriters or freelance business writers, then we would love to hear from you. As a leading UK copywriters agency would expect you to have at least five years of solid, heavy-hitting copywriting experience, plus an amazing portfolio of projects on which you have played a leading creative copywriting role.
If you really can back up your claim to be one of the UK's top copywriters, and you like the sound of challenging freelance copywriting projects, decent fees and fast, guaranteed payment, there will be a very warm welcome for you at Freelance Copywriter UK. Please contact us now by email:
join@freelancecopywriteruk.co.uk
With your email, please forward:
- Your freelance copywriting CV, detailing your copywriting career to date (we don't need to know you worked at Debenhams when you were 16!)
- Three to five samples of copywriting that demonstrate very different copywriting styles and creative approaches that have been used across a variety of media
- OPTIONAL: A note describing areas of copywriting expertise or specialist copywriting subject knowledge you might have. We are always looking for specialists with a good track record in a particular field of business writing or expert knowledge of one or more subjects or sectors. The specialist freelance copywriters and freelance business writers on our books tend to get a more regular and profitable flow of work than the generalists.
- OPTIONAL: Details of any campaigns on which you had a leading role and that were particularly successful. These do not need to be huge campaigns for multinational clients; as a copywriting agency, what we are particularly interested in are campaigns that started with a difficult brief, that you approached in a creative way and, most importantly, that demonstrably achieved the results the client was looking for.
What happens next? When will I hear back from Freelance Copywriter UK?
One of Freelance Copywriter UK's team members will give each application a quick scan on arrival, before it is set aside for a thorough review. The reason for doing so is that we might just have the perfect project for someone with your talents and skills; in such cases, we will get in touch immediately. But that is rare.
More typically, every four to six weeks the Freelance Copywriter UK team goes through all the applications in detail. That is the point at which we will closely study your copywriting history and identify how you might best fit into our freelance copywriting agency's team. Once we have reached our conclusions, we will then contact everyone, whether or not they have been successful. And that is a promise: you will hear back from us, but please be patient.
Also, please do not be concerned or disappointed if we do not extend an invitation to you to join our freelance copywriters agency. We regularly find ourselves in the miserable position of having to say ‘no' to amazingly talented and successful freelance writers who have outstanding copywriting CVs and a great record of accomplishment.
The usual reason is simply that we already have a full book of freelance copywriters and freelance business writers who fit those particular slots and have successfully completed many projects with us. That is why, as noted in point three above, any specialist expertise you might have is likely to lead to you being very much more in demand, by us and our clients.
At other times, we turn down great freelancers simply because, in our judgement, they are at too early a stage in their copywriting or business writing careers to be able to make an effective impact on our clients' projects. And that brings us on to the note below...
Important note for aspiring freelance copywriters and business writers
Hopefully, you will have gathered from the text above that Freelance Copywriter UK is not looking for aspiring freelance copywriters or freelance business writers in the early stages of their writing careers. Our copywriting agency does not have a freelance copywriter training programme, and we do not take on interns interested in becoming freelance business writers. We focus all our efforts on meeting the demands of our clients. Sorry.
What are copywriters? What is copywriting?
If you are interested in finding out a little more about copywriters and copywriting, then you might find this entry on Wikipedia to be of interest. There's also a short entry on what written copy is. Many books have been written on copywriting, so you might wish to explore some of the general booksellers, like Amazon and Waterstones, or academic and professional booksellers like Blackwell.
