How I fell (face first) into copywriting
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) from RMIT University in 2018.
I was set to join the newsroom and eventually become an investigative journalist, but after 30 rejected job applications I fell into freelance copywriting instead.
Face first.
Did I know what I was doing? I mean, do any of us?
After working full-time for a short period and kind of ~dying inside~ I found my way back to academia and spent the next 2.5 years studying a Master of Creative Writing, Publishing and Editing at the University of Melbourne.
Fast forward to the good part, where Iโve landed a pretty sweet part-time role at a fab media agency and Iโm ~freelancing~ on the sweet side.
Still think I wouldโve made a great investigative journalist.
Maybe one day.
