I decided that I needed to reinvent my work life by returning to university and I graduated in 2010 with an English Literature degree. Since then I have been lucky enough to secure a few writing contracts, but nothing like the volume that I would like in order to achieve my goal of a full time career in freelance copywriting. I don't really know where to start with building up a profile of work and how best to "package" myself for potential employers. I would be really interested to pick your brains at your convenience. Many thanks in advance for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Charlotte Hi Sally,

Like you, I don't come from an agency background and had to build up my portfolio and experience as I went along. It took me about 3 years to start earning a decent income, but the benefits of the freelance lifestyle and being able to write for a living means it was certainly worth the struggle. Merry Xmas!
