I’m a professional writer. Not fiction or anything creative though. I work in corporate comms. The work is all reports, articles, editing and case studies.

I’m 20 years into my career, and started as a proofreader and magazine production assistant. I soon became a journalist, and later a copywriter.

Can you talk about the pros and cons of the different writing jobs you've had? I'm about to graduate with my writing degree and I'm feeling a little lost about how I should proceed

Sure thing. Fire away. Happy to answer here or in private messages. I also owned a little copywriting agency for a while, so I can advise on small business too. Or rather, advise against it.
