I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

Doesn’t sound like a big leap at all for me! Your account management experience will be sooo valuable.

Prepare samples of your copy writing work and present it as a story. What was the need? What other options did you consider? How do you know it was successful?
