Filling in a survey can be a pain. It’s another thing on your to-do list.

But we’re sweetening the deal with a chance to win £100 to spend on books. (We’re nice like that.)

We want to encourage as many UK copywriters as possible to complete our 2019 copywriting survey, so we want YOU to complete our survey, then spread to message far and wide.

What you need to do

1. Complete our copywriting survey (https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/procopywriters2019)
2. Share or retweet the survey link on Twitter
3. Include the hashtag #ProCopySurvey2019 along with the survey link

All entries using this hashtag will be entered into our prize draw to win one £100 National Book Token.

Already completed the survey? Great – thanks! You can still enter this competition by sharing the survey link on Twitter (don’t forget to include the hashtag.

Because the survey is anonymous, we will be using the hashtag only as a means to qualify your entry into the competition. That means we’re relying on your goodwill to complete the survey, and we’re relying on you to tell others why our copywriting survey is so important. (We know you’re nice like that.)

Why IS the survey so important?

Our survey results create a snapshot of the commercial writing profession, examining:

• Rates
• Job satisfaction
• Career prospects
• Brexit anxiety
• And lots more

It gives all copywriters a clearer understanding of our profession. We can all make sure we’re working in the right way, for the right pay – and we can support our opinions with evidence.

You are incredibly important to this project, because your voice makes our report more reflective of our community. Without a large sample size, our report cannot truly represent the thousands of commercial writers working in the UK today.

How long have I got?

The competition opens on Friday 25^th January and closes on Thursday 31^st January. It only takes about 7 minutes to complete, so don’t put it off!
