Non-Fiction

P.S. Regarding my first reply to you: Bear this in mind --

Consider the difference between:

Dumas, a successful playwright, and let's say:

Joe E. Schmo, an advertising copywriter.

Because of the theatre, and his plays, the name "Dumas" is very well known publicly. Theater-goers see the play, read the reviews, and know, the name of the playwright is "Dumas." It's a public fact.


But Joe E. Schmo, laboring as a writer in advertising, gets no such public acclaim. He does not sign the ads he writes. His name does not appear in any program of ads, The people who see his work have no idea that work is HIS work. No one in the public knows the name of the copywriter is Joe E. Schmo.

-----------------

Do you see the difference? Do you see what an uphill climb Joe E. Schmo has in order to turn his copywriting name public?


------------------

This is one of the unique oddities of writing advertising copy: You don't sign the ad. No one in public knows it was you that wrote it - unlike writers who write plays, tv shows, movies, and books, where the public easily sees the credit -- and knows who wrote it (or who is taking credit for writing it),
