What qualifications do I need to get into copywriting?

[ChrisRich]

I’m a fully qualified journalist with 10 years of experience and a degree in English Literature. I’ve been living in the US for 2 years (for my husband’s job) and used it as a career break. We are due to return to the UK next summer and I want to move into copywriting/digital marketing. I’m aware I’ve been out of the game for a while and am thinking of taking an online course in marketing to give me the edge when it comes to job hunting, can anyone recommend one? Is there a particular accreditation that would be useful to me? I’m aware the jobs market may be a bit difficult at the moment, so any help would be appreciated.

Given your 10 years of experience as a journalist and your degree in English Literature, I suggest you consider taking a copywriting course to further develop your skills.
