“I highly recommend Make a Living Writing. Newbies to freelance writing will find everything they need to launch a successful career, from choosing the right niches to getting assignments to getting paid well. Experienced hands will find gems on every page that will improve their writing careers – and their bottom lines.
Your blog is like ‘Eat This Not That’ for freelance writers!
Carol Tice makes me feel sane. Unlike those who make a living selling advice to writers about how to make a living as a writer, Carol actually writes for a living. Carol’s blog stands head and shoulders, hips and knees above the mind-bogglingly vast number of blogs targeting would-be writers out there.
Got community?
It’s hard to be a freelance writer all alone. For freelance writers at all levels who need more in-depth learning and support to reach their freelance writing goals, Carol founded the membership community Freelance Writers Den in 2011.
With over 14,000 writers served, 300+ hours of trainings, 24/7 forums staffed by writing pros, an exclusive job board, live events and more, the Den is the place where freelance writers learn how to grow their income – fast. (If we’re not open when you arrive, recommend you get on the waiting list for some freebie offers and first crack at a seat sooner.)
