A job I’m applying for asks for non-ad writing samples. I have a personal blog that has *cough, cough* personal stories. Dare I share that? I like the writing but it’s a little NSFW.

Listen to Copy 1. Don’t do it.

I hate it when a company says they want to see "your style of writing". As a copywriter, I am never writing in my own style - I'm always writing for a brand's tone of voice. That's what my job is.

like

I feel you on that and I've worked with CDs who like to wrangle everything into THEIR voice. Imo it makes for pretty lifeless copy cos you're either always second-guessing yourself or someone writes the life out of your copy.

Can you change the character’s name, location, time, and background of the story and send them a pdf?

Yes, share. They asked. And if they don’t like it, you prob don’t wanna work there.

Serious question. Why do they need to see non-ad writing?

Is it really non-ad or different formats they're looking for, like long copy?

yeah, agree with this. take any of them you like that you can tweak to remove the NSFW element, hell even take yourself out of the picture and make it a fictional story about a third person. Surely you can adapt some for this purpose

What kind of NSFW are we talking about? Profanity, hard drugs, sex, racism?

No furries…yet.

should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
