The Writers’ Co-op is an audio handbook and membership program that helps you navigate the trickiest aspects of running your freelance business.
The Writers’ Co-op addresses common concerns like finding clients and assignments, time management, diversifying income streams, balancing multiple assignments at one time, creating a budget, the ins and outs of taxes, negotiating higher pay and better contracts, marketing your business, building authority and trust with clients, securing mentorship, work-life balance, and more. A more stable business model allows freelance writers to do better work (and live more satisfying lives!). Our episodes, workshops, and beyond are meant to give you tools you can use immediately.
You can find us on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Stitcher &wherever else you podcast.
