The specialist and general aspects of a writing career have been thoroughly dealt. My decision to be a copywriter has given me a niche which gives me lot of pride and a living too. I can bank on my 12 yrs of experience to give the needed positioning to any product or service( strategy) and can talk endlessly about it. Thanks for reinfocing the idea of a specialist!

That said, I also keep a list of what I call "Areas of Specialized Knowledge", which is a list of topics in which I have extensive experience and contacts gained over the years. When pitching for some assignments, especially in the case of jobbing in with a media firm that has a variety of clients, including the list in the pitch package is helpful.
