Hello fellow wordsmiths. I’m leaving copywriting after nearly 10 years and I’ve got some books and resources for sale. I see a lot of post in this community asking for best things to read to help a beginner / developing copywriter and the books for sale here would make a good “what to read list”. There’s some legendary names in this box. Andy Maslen, Drayton Bird, Dan Nelken, Cialdini and more. All books are in really good condition - I have the legendary The Copy Book still in its cellophane wrapper as I had two copies. All are priced to sell from just £5. I don’t want leave a spammy link here but if you’re interested comment below and I can send you the list of what I’ve got. They’d be ideal for a junior, or someone just getting into Copywriting. Also for sale are three Pip Decks ‘Tactics’ boxes. Storyteller Tactics, Workshop Tactics, and Copywriting Tactics. Fab little resources that aid creativity and help you get going when faced with a bit of writer’s block. Find out more at Pipdecks dot com and see their rrp. My copies are heavily discounted but feel free to make an offer. Little bit about me, I trained as a journalist after school but left that wanting a better work life balance and started my own trade / service based business. After 15 years doing that I felt bored and ready for a change so I retrained as a copywriter and went freelance. After a few years I teamed up with another successful freelancer and we started a small copywriting agency which began to grow immediately. We focussed mainly on tone of voice creation and training, web copy, and ads. It’s been a wild ride, but I’ve found that I’m chasing that work / life balance thing again. With the emergence of AI and a diluting of the talent pool available to small agencies like us I’ve decided to go back to a trade business in search of a future proofed income, more predictable turnover, and more repeat customers. So I’m out. And honestly it feels like a good decision. I’m less stressed and growing the new business feels more straightforward than the agency. I’ve really enjoyed my career in copy and having a ‘creative’ job. It’s an amazing and supportive industry of people who really care about the craft and I’d love to pass these books and resources onto someone who’d use and benefit from them. Any questions feel free to leave in a comment, and if you fancy seeing the list of books or or pictures of the Tactics decks let me know and I’ll share in a comment or a DM. Cheers, happy writing all :)   submitted by   /u/Humble_Tourist6338 [link]   [comments]
