Let’s talk about some things every freelancer knows too well:

That moment when you sit down to write a pitch and you second-guess every line, wondering if you sound too salesy, too amateur, have too many details, or not enough.

Or when you want to grow your business, so you think you’ll read free blogs and watch videos on how to do it, but you aren’t sure of how to strategically put all of that information together and turn it into a formula you can build a freelance business.

You get paralyzed with information overload.

It’s not just you. I’ve been there, and many of my students, customers, and freelance coaching clients have been as well.

You’re busy.
You’re overwhelmed.

You’re trying SO hard but it feel like you’re staying still with wheels spinning.

This “freelancing thing” was supposed to put money in your pocket and satisfy that creative itch but it feels more like a chore these days.

You’re sending off emails and writing pitches, but nothing’s landing and you aren’t sure if it’s your pitch, your niche, your marketing, or something going on with the industry.

It’s not you.

But you need guidance.

Systems.

Formulas.

Courses that walk you through what to do.

That’s exactly why I run one big sale a year.

My Get Paid to Write freelance writing online course is what I recommend to beginners (or intermediates who need some brushing up on business skills and pitching).

And for the first time ever, if you enroll by December 6th, you’ll get a bespoke add-on.

I’ll personally edit ONE of your pitches

(before you send it to an editor or a potential client)

Course students have gone on to write for AARP, Shondaland, Muscle & Fitness, Prevention, Martha Stewart, Food Network, Quill magazine, Military Spouse, Alumni magazines, and more.

In this self-directed course you’ll get:

• 10 step-by-step lessons (video and script — depends on how you like to learn)

• How to find magazines + brands to pitch to

• How to locate editors’ names

• What to put in a pitch

• Following up (without feeling weird)

• Rates + business basics

• Social media tips for freelancers

• BONUS: How to write an article

• BONUS: My personal marketing plan

• BONUS: Places to find freelance writing jobs

• BONUS: How to get published with zero experience

If you join by 12/6, you have until 1/31/26 to send me your pitch for editing.

You don’t have to start the lessons yet — I get it, crazy busy holiday season! — but you can take advantage of this service if you buy by tomorrow.

(This add-on service is valued at over $50 and you’ll get it FREE.)

Time is running out. I hope you see this email before Saturday evening!
