Hello all,
I am a young wife and mother who is seriously considering opening a freelance copywriting business out of my home. I have no experience, and the university English degree I am working on part time is far from finished...yet I love to write and I am reasonably confident in my abilities. I've read Peter Bowerman's book The Well Fed Writer and my mind is aswirl with possibilities.

What I wanted to ask is, is it feasible for someone with no job experience in marketing or writing to try to be a copywriter? (I'm a secretary right now.) If yes, where is the best place to begin?

I would especially appreciate any advice at all from my fellow Canadian writers. (I'm curious what a rookie copywriter in Ontario normally charges at the beginning.)

Thanks!
