Where to find a good copywriter

Post a Job

If you have specific copywriting work you need done then why not post a job on this site, where it will be seen by our audience of copywriting professionals?

Internet Work exchanges

Elance, smarterwork and ework are examples of online B2B freelance work exchanges where you can find a copywriter.

But their disadvantage is that you get proposals from all kinds of unqualified people in countries where English is not the first language.

Also, web designers and PR people add 'copywriting' to their on-line CV. So you'll need to check that the freelancer actually writes copy for a living.

Yellow Pages

Few copywriters are listed in the Yellow Pages. But you can look.

Internet search engine

This can be a good technique, because many copywriters have web pages that show up well in a search. That's because they use the word 'copywriting' a lot! But many web designers also throw in the word 'copywriting' because it adds weight to their list of services.

Advertising Agencies

You'll find copywriters in ad agencies, working either as employees or as a freelance.

But agencies usually want to sell you their other services, too; and they're usually more expensive (because they have nice offices to maintain).
