Pros

It's a flexible job that allows you to select projects that align with your strengths and values.

Cons

It is increasingly difficult to find partners who value writing as a craft. Many prefer to turn it over to AI. In turn, turnaround and cost-saving are more valued than collaboration with a skilled writer.
