Hello,
I have been learning professional writing for about 6 months and I’m not finding many jobs. I am trying to breakout to more English speaking business without much luck, and I’m wondering can I learn to write good copy in English without being native English speaker?
I appreciate any advice.
Can I write copy for English business even if I'm not native English speaker?

You don’t need to be a native English speaker, but it does require fluency in English if you wish to be taken seriously.
If your writing doesn’t flow naturally in whatever language you write, it won’t be easy to convince others that you can write for them in that language.
You also need to understand the culture you are writing for more than just grammar and punctuation. Different words and phrases can have different connotations among different groups.

Yeah buddy, you don’t need to be a native but you do need to sound like a native
