Crinkly Copywriting: Can you still write great copy when you're 60+? with Mary Cameron

Figuring out what makes you unique is a tough but essential part of marketing your copywriting services.

What if you've written for every type of business?
What if you've seen it all and written the copy?
Can oodles of experience be your USP?

The answer is yes and we're excited to talk to a copywriter who celebrates not only her age and experience but her knack for reinvention… and how that's shaped her copywriting business.

Tune in to learn:

Life and writing experience – when you've seen it, done it, made it work (even when 'it didn't')
The process of reinvention and how to know if you need one
The new dimension of imposter syndrome (aka 'how can I possibly still be here doing this at my age?!')
Wrinkles and grey hair in the era of Facebook live
Advice for grey-haired word nerds contemplating freelance copywriting
The joy of nailing your brand
