Am I too old to land remote agency work as a copywriter at 43?

Question

I'm an experienced copywriter with nearly 10 years of freelancing behind me, but have recently moved abroad and the panic is setting in. I have a genuine fear of being cast off as too old before anyone reads past the top part of my CV.

I've earned my chops working with a few agencies and local businesses back in the UK, (I worked in TV production and as a teacher before that, hence the 'late' arrival into copywriting) but now that I'm based in Berlin and away from my regular in-house jobs, I'm terrified that my age is going to count against me. It's actually frightening me from even applying to some places in the first instance.

So, am I right to worry like this? Does anyone have any advice to help me make the right impression with hiring teams at agencies?

All advice and encouragement is gratefully received!

Thanks.
