Ought to be illegal: Copyright v. copywrite

If only some writers would quit violating the definitions of copyright and copywrite!

Copyright refers to the exclusive legal right to use artistic material. Its forms can serve as a noun (I own the copyright to my novel.), an adjective (copyrighted material), or verb (You should copyright your manuscript.).

Copywrite isn’t a word. Copywriter and copywriting are, however, and they refer to someone who pens text for a living. They typically are used as nouns (The English major’s first job out of college was as a copywriter or The English major’s first job out of college was in copywriting).

Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Richmond, Virginia, or a small town like Red Cloud, Nebraska, I can provide that second eye.
