Anyone successfully transition out of copywriting/marketing world and into publishing? I’ve been in-house at a global spiritual non-profit as their marketing copywriter for 3+ years. Our team is small and the workplace has a lot of dysfunction, and I don’t know if I want to continue with marketing at all. Marketing just doesn’t feel good? I’m a songwriter and poet on the side, so I’m thinking of getting into publishing. Seems like it would be a pay cut from the salary of $72k I’m making now…but I don’t know if I can do this anymore? Anyone transition out of copywriting into editing? Or teaching? Or book/magazine world? Journalism?   submitted by   /u/nimaway518 [link]   [comments]
