Saw your Twitter page and saw you're a copywriter. I'm interested in that field. I've heard mixed messages about portfolio school. How did you go about becoming a copywriter? Thanks in advance!

Margo Rowder replied to Margo Rowder's discussion THIRTY DECIBELS, Margo Rowder, YA dystopian in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Thank you for your feedback, Christine!
This opening chapter actually used to be Chapter 7. Months ago as I was revising, it seemed to want to pull itself to the front. A trusted crit partner also suggested the same move, and said it would get…"

These are great suggestions. Thank you so much for taking the time.
I'm actually pretty happy that you see these girls as contemporary teens. Because in their time, they are, right? That's what I'm hoping comes across. But I…"

I really do appreciate all your advice. I just finished my one and only class offered at my school dealing with copywriting, but it felt more like a mini campaigns class. I did get an A, but to be honest it was very hard for me. Copywriting is a skill in and of itself. One I definitely need more practice at. I may try my hand at an internship specifically for copywriting, but it is nice to know portfolio school isn't a must. This past class definitely opened my eyes, especially since my professor is still working in the ad field as an art director. It wasn't easy, I do wish my school offered more classes on the subject though.
Again thanks for the advice. I apologize on the late response.
