Chris Marlow, veteran freelance copywriter and copywriting coach

NEW - Chris has recently published her long-awaited report: The 2005 Freelance Copywriter Fee & Compensation Survey

Direct response copywriting has been Chris Marlow's professional passion since discovering industry icons Dick Benson, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and Bob Stone in the Advertising section of Powell's Bookstore in Portland, Oregon.

In 1994, Chris received her first award for copywriting, the Pioneer Award, which recognizes exceptional creative. That same year she received two ECHO Awards - the highest award in direct marketing - from the International Direct Marketing Association, for exceptional results in a campaign. Yet another ECHO Award followed, and then one more in 1995 - a regional MAXI Award - again for exceptional results.

Chris is brainchild and publisher of the Freelance Copywriter's Fee & Compensation Survey, the world's largest and most comprehensive study of copywriter fees and business economics. Chris is also affiliated with American Writers & Artists Institute (AWAI), and is widely published in marketing related media such as DM News, SoftwareCEO, and her own newsletter, the Freelancer's Business Bulletin.
