I am loving this story, BTW. Halfway through it and I relate far too much. :)

Better to check out their website and look at their editorial guidelines. If nothing else, find an editor's email and ask directly.

Market every day. I mean, Every. Day. Email marketing (just a letter of introduction works), engaging potential clients in conversation on social media, sharing, querying magazines, anything you can think of that gets your name out there and gets you in front of your target clients.

I've had a Miele for 11 years. Quietest, most reliable one I've ever owned.

Hi Wendy! Good seeing you here. #Freelancechat

I like them both. Threads has a different vibe for me too, but I think using Threads makes it easier to segment my political conversations over there and keep them relatively untouched here.

A2: I love the ability to follow specific communities easily. What I'd love to see is a Tweetdeck for Bluesky. I miss that so badly! #Freelancechat

I'm working on poetry submissions. I have client work sporadically throughout the month, but I do plan to knock off work early this month. You? #freelancechat

He is indeed! Great Netflix series based on his books, too. If you get the chance to see him, take it. Totally fun evening.

I can help with that. It is a lot of hustle those first years, but if I can, you can!

I'm a #freelancewriter and have been full time at it for 21 years. I love writing/reading poetry, I am addicted to exercise, and I love all things outdoors.

Mine literally burned out six months ago. I guess the timing couldn't have been better!

B2B and B2C insurance and risk management (more exciting than it sounds). I write poetry and fiction on the side. #freelancewriter

Liz, you can do it. I did. I'm not doing anything special. Market every day. Consistent networking and marketing gets you to a point where they start coming to you. Honest.
