What does a copywriter do?

Copywriting is persuasive writing. It’s used in promotional and marketing materials like websites, emails, and ads. A copywriter’s job is to engage your audience and compel them to take action: buy a product, click a link, fill out a contact form, sign up for a newsletter, etc.

Why hire a copywriter?

A professional copywriter optimizes the lines of communication between you and your audience. They help convert prospects into customers.

While many small business owners write their own marketing copy, a professional copywriter has a specialized skill set that can increase sales and improves the way your brand is perceived.

What does an editor do?

An editor revises your writing to make it smooth and easy to read. They check that your work is organized and structured in a way that is clear and intuitive, they adjust the length and structure of paragraphs and sentences to maximize readability, and they ensure that there are no grammatical or punctation errors. Editors give your writing a professional polish.

Why hire an editor?

When you’re deeply involved in a piece of writing, you’ve probably read it many times over. It can be hard to pick out spelling and punctuation mistakes. It can also be hard to recognize sentences that aren’t as clear as they should be, or to identify structural issues that make a piece confusing to an outside reader.

That’s why the perspective of an editor is invaluable. Editors ensure that your work is clear, readable, and free of mechanical errors.

Hiring an editor can be the difference between a good piece of writing and a professional piece of writing. Great writers, and even great editors, hire editors to polish their work.
