10 Places to Find Fashion Copywriters for Hire

Copywriting is an important part of any company’s marketing strategy. This is no different for fashion brands. In this article, we’re going to outline some of the best places to find fashion copywriters for hire.

What is a fashion copywriter?

A fashion copywriter writes various types of copy for fashion brands, including articles, product descriptions, and landing pages. This content is usually for retail stores or e-commerce brands.

Unlike a “generic copywriter”, a fashion copywriter has specific knowledge about the fashion industry. They know how to write copy that resonates well with a fashion brand’s style and target audience.

Why hire fashion copywriters?

The reason people hire fashion copywriters is no different than hiring any other copywriter — the difference being, the copy is for the fashion industry.

The benefits of hiring copywriters include receiving fresh and original copy, improving search engine positioning, converting more readers into customers, building brand awareness, and saving time.

The fundamental reason why a company should hire a fashion copywriter is the same reason one should hire a plumber to fix a leaking drain—they’re professionals. They write all day, every day. Copywriters are worth hiring because the written word is a core part of marketing and connecting with current and potential customers.

When it comes to fashion specifically, you should aim to hire writers with experience in this field so that they understand how to communicate well with your target audience. A copywriter with genuine experience in the fashion niche will be able to write more engaging and accurate copy.

ProBlogger Jobs isn’t as active as other large sites such as Indeed, but it’s very specific — meaning a lot of great writers come here looking for work, including freelance fashion writers.

Similar to any other classic job board, you post your job requirements as well as a method for writers to contact you (such as a contact form on your website or a Google Form), and then you can shortlist writers best for the job.

9. LinkedIn

LinkedIn is the largest professional social network in the world. It’s a great place to connect with other professionals in your field and market yourself. But it’s also a fantastic place to find writers for hire. 

To find writers to hire here, you can either reach out to people in your personal network or more ideally, create a job post on your company’s LinkedIn account and promote it. This will increase your reach and help you find as many top applicants as possible. 

You can also use LinkedIn’s search feature and search for keywords like “writer fashion”, “fashion copywriter”, and other similar variations. This should help you find writers that are specifically advertising themselves as a writer with expertise in the fashion niche.

10. Contently
