"Working holidays, weekends, evenings, or off-hours is something I can certainly accommodate from time to time. I do appreciate a healthy work-life balance so that I can keep my creativity at its peak; however, I know that there are often important deadlines and I would never quit for the day knowing my team still needs me."

Writers are often subject to working a variety of hours and days based on the job at hand. Be prepared to discuss your availability to work late nights, early mornings, weekends, and holidays. While not all writing jobs require this kind of flexibility, be prepared with a well-crafted response. The interviewer wants to see that you are passionate about doing the job, regardless of the hours!

"I can work any hours required to get the job done. Writing is my biggest passion, and I am a dedicated employee, so if it requires working weekends or evenings to meet a deadline, I am willing to do it."
