I’ve written speeches for politicians and business people – and I loved being able to say “I am a speechwriter!”

When I think about it – it’s probably because I was such a fan of great speeches such as those given by MLK and JFK.

I’ve also written copy for business websites and marketing collateral – but I never wanted to be called a copywriter.

Rightly or wrongly – I preferred to think of myself as a writer.

From my experience, there was even a hierarchy within copywriters with advertising copywriters being at the more glamorous end.
