Freelance copywriters, is it more difficult finding work if you're flying solo rather than in a permanent team?

No, but you risk getting partnered up with a nightmare person who ruins the whole gig for you. It’s rare but it happens.

Nope. It's easier flying solo, in my experience.

Most of the time, yes. Sometimes you just fly solo and work into an ECD, and they'll have a junior make comps for whatever they want in the client deck. Sometimes they will want to hire a freelance team for a couple months, but if you don't have a partner, it doesn't necessarily mean you're out. There's plenty of solo ADs I've had recruiters pair me with. In short, it's messy. But I find it's easier to manage messy as a solo act versus messy as a team.

I need to take off my mind from worrying - obviously I want this job so badly!
