I'm trying to start my career in copywriting even if it's for a few years before it's gone. Every time I reach out to people on LinkedIn, I'm asked to send them 'my book'. I'm pretty sure this is a dumb question but what is a book? I asked Perplexity and this is what it said, and I'm not sure I understand. Happy to get elaborate explanations or examples and also details on how to make one, because I'm a little lost here :D

Hello Fishes, Just curious to know anyone working with any gaming companies (EA Games,Activision, ubisoft, Sega,etc)
Like how do they hire?
Which tech stack they would be looking for?

I work with great people. Really can’t say anything bad about my firm in general either. But…I still dislike the entire premise of law firm life, the billable hour, etc.. I’d love to work in a law school setting as a counselor or something but I can’t afford the pay cut. *sigh* Does anyone feel like being a lawyer is just doing homework all day? First world problems I suppose. I’m very thankful to have a job ❤️

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.
