Summer can feel strange as a freelance writer.
When I first started freelance writing as a mom, I didn’t have full workdays available.
When I was researching about freelance writing I saw a lot of writers telling me that cold pitching was where it was at.
But I knew that cold pitching was time consuming and well, I was a stay-at-home mom with twin babies with NO time. I was trying to figure out if making money writing was even a real thing or not.
With how the wold is changing, it’s the perfect time to have political writing jobs right now.
If you think like me, job boards probably feel like the easiest place to get started.
If you’re anything like me, you picked a freelance writing niche because it was something that interests you… not because you already knew everything about it.
When I first started freelance writing, I spent a lot of time thinking about my writing samples.
I still remember sitting at my desk during maternity leave, thinking about what it would look like to not go back to my 9-to-5 and instead write full-time while raising my twins.
