Copywriters talking shop

[Alexey_WritersHub]

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the off-topic question, but does anyone know if GPWA has threads for copywriters and/or content managers? Would love to talk shop with fellow content folks

Welcome to the GPWA.

There really is no "set" place for such, but the threads and topics should just follow the topic of the main parent forums.

As an example if you have a question as to keeping writing adhering to standard seo practices you would likely see it in the SEO section at https://www.gpwa.org/forum/search-en...ation-seo.html.

If the question dealt with say word press plugins etc, it is more logical in the Word Press and Related Web Design section at https://www.gpwa.org/forum/word-pres...eb-design.html

Thank you, Rick!

This may not be what you’re looking for but since I’ve chanced upon this topic of yours, I gotta ask! What’s the market like for copywriters today? I’m pretty sure the dawn of AI has put a wrench in a lot of the work that was available. My question here is, how have you reinvented yourself and how do you continue to work in view of the absurd amount of low quality AI articles being generated?

On flam's question, the part of a writing assignment I'd value most is the research and editorial judgment behind it. For a casino guide, I'd want the writer to deliver the source for each important claim, identify conflicting terms and flag anything that couldn't be verified.

A useful brief could ask for a concise explanation of one player question, a source sheet and a list of checks needed before publication. I would judge the result on whether a reader can understand the restrictions and trace the facts, rather than just the word count.

For the content managers here, do you include those research deliverables in the writing brief, or have a separate editor handle them?
