What r/copywriting's own rules say
Every line below is the room's own sentence, word for word, including its spelling. We pick the sentences about promotion, links and who may post; we never shorten one.
A wee bit of self-promotion is fine, so long as it's a free & helpful resource.
Rule: No bilking, scamming, spamming, or profiteering. Links are fine, but you must disclose whether payment or email signup is necessary to access information (even if free).
Rule: No undisclosed or unsolicited links It is not ok to make a post advertising your copywriting services.
Rule: Job ads are fine. Pitching your copy services is not.

How this page was made
The rules come from the arctic-shift public mirror's copy of the room's rules list, sidebar and posting guidelines. We do not use the Reddit API. The posting answer rests on the room's own words when they say anything about promotion, then on removals we counted, then on our inference, and the line under each answer says which. A rule that was rewritten after the mirror's copy was taken will not show here, which is why the capture date is printed above.
