On the first Tuesday of the month, I'm hosting co-pitching calls where freelancers work on their pitches together.
This month I offered a few short prompts for those who needed it. Here I elaborate on ways to appr…
On Monday mornings I used to be cranky and anxious. It's not a great combo any time, and not a great foundation for the week ahead.
Then I created a ritual to help me transition … and I actually look forward to that time when I get to look at my writing projects from a totally different perspecti…
In one week, you might have a pub that you've written for for years fold, receive an email from an editor who said she loved your pitch now asking for a ton of edits, sign a contract for a new book, and have a source ask to reschedule an interview.

This lack of clarity about time in the moment can be seen or described in very different ways depending on the context (eg …
Freelance writers often have a hard time setting rates, or feeling great about them after we've signed a contract.
It can feel challenging when:
You have a sense that there's a correct rate to charge, but you don't know what it is
You don't know how much you need to earn this year, so can't br…
Do you (almost) always honor your agreements to others (e.g. you routinely make your deadlines), but have a hard time doing things that nobody else is completing (e.g. pitch a story to a new-to-you editor)?
External accountability can help interrupt narratives that are neither fact-based nor helpf…
