Creating a copywriting library: Invitation for guest bloggers

‘How to be a copywriter’ is a specialist blog for copywriters by copywriters. It’s run by Copywriter Collective, one of the world’s largest international agencies for copywriters and advertising creatives. But we want it to be more than just a blog – we want it to be a copywriting library.

A Copywriting Library Full of Writing Advice

We have a simple aim for this site. We want it to become a repository of the best articles for copywriting advice. A resource for copywriters written by copywriters

At the moment it’s hard to find specialist copywriting articles. When you need some copywriting advice, using a search engine can be a frustrating experience. You might get lucky, but often it takes longer to find the write advice that it does to do the copywriting.

With our high editorial standards, we can ensure that the best advice is collected in one place. The best advice in all media. Press releases, websites, brochures, voiceovers… all have different nuances and require different skills.

But to build a library we need your help. Our members have written some great articles for the copywriting library but we need more. Now we’re throwing it open to all the copywriters out there to help it grow, so it can help more copywriters.

What Makes a Good Copywriting Article?

We have high standard for submissions and we are always eager to read original and exclusive articles. You article must really stand out as offering professional advice for professional freelance copywriters.

We don’t want authors who are simply after a quick backlink. We will provide one of course but that shouldn’t be your primary motivation. We’re looking for professional freelance copywriters who want to give something back to the copywriting business that gave you so much.

We priorities articles written by freelance copywriters sharing their first-hand experiences in the industry. This could include:

• Interviews and self-promotion.
• First-hand experiences with clients, bosses, agencies etc.
• Advice for other copywriters and freelancers.
• Business/financial advice for fellow copywriters.
• Life as a copywriter in your residing country.

What we don’t like to see are articles that are dull or lack any sort of useful information. If it sounds like you’ve just regurgitated the content from the internet or worse, it has been written by AI (!!!), then please don’t pitch to us.

Some writers keep their secrets close to their chest. They see helping other copywriters as helping the competition. We say help the world and the world will help you back. Give and ye shall receive.
