Writers Against the Algorithm

It's tough out there for copywriters... New technologies. Economic turmoil. Tightening budgets. Skittish clients. Overcrowded markets. Undervalued creativity. Words as commodities. Autocratic algorithms. Rampant plagiarism. Billionaires bleeding the world dry. It’s hard to know where we fit into this landscape as copywriters (and humans). How do we build and shape fulfilling careers? What skills do we need to remain competitive? How do we do this while keeping our integrity intact? *whispers: it kinda feels like an industry in crisis* We're feeling it. And if you’re here, you're probably feeling it too. Which is why we're building a community learning platform to help copywriters navigate and thrive in our brave new world – away from the overwhelming clamour of mainstream social media. A safe space for considered and considerate discussion. Where those doing the thing – not just talking about doing the thing – can learn from each other. Where we can respectfully push one another to improve our craft. A place where human-first creativity is valued. Where good writing is championed. Where better is more important than faster or cheaper. A place where we can quietly plot to overthrow our algorithmic overlords – but we’ll keep that last bit to ourselves. If you’re a copywriter feeling lost, overwhelmed and in need of connection: this community was made for you. Find out more 👉 www.wearewata.com
