In reply to Gina.

Web writer works just fine, Gina. Copywriter does, too. Sometimes the word “freelance” gives people the impression that we’re sitting by the phone eagerly awaiting their call and the chance to be underpaid. LOL

You’re good!

What about a web writer? Does “professional web writer” sound right? Or just “copywriter?” I like just copywriter. But I also want to make clear I’m good. Thanks for any advice!

In reply to Paula Hendrickson. Right there, Paula. There's proof you're not a "gig" anything. You're a pro and your clients know they can count on you.

Less than an hour ago, a good client (easy to work with, pays well, and respects writers) asked if I could take a nice assignment, but I told her the turn around time was a little tight. She happily added several more days. Why? She knows my work won’t require tons of editing, and she knows I’ll get it done.
