Editorial & Writing Careers

Columnists record their ideas and comment on trends rather than report on news, and play their trade in magazines and newspapers. Columnists will often provide their content to a myriad of agencies.

Being a copywriter is less about developing your own brand and instead is about maximising income. Copywriters exist to write copy specifically for the purpose of selling goods and services and like salepeople they see the returns. The primary skills of a copywriter is to evoke interest and earn the readers confidence/trust.

Ghostwriters write for other people so those people can call the work their own. People using their services are often politicians, business people or celebrities. Ghost writers are used for example to write "auto-biographies" for famous people. Finding this work is often network and agent driven.

Journalists perform a number of tasks and their work is read by the most people; most forms of mass media articles are written by journalists. Journalistic work is high pressure, writing the articles is not the issue - keeping to deadlines is. Much journalistic work is news driven and can therefore only be utilised once before it is dated on non relevant.

Online writers are ideal for entry level writers looking to make their mark. Most online work is website driven. Income for this work is much less than other writing mediums.
