the one thing IG is good for, IMO

(quick one today) The single most important lesson I’ve learned about the creative process: You need input to get output. Creativity isn’t just about doing the creative thing itself. It’s about putting pre-creativity pieces into your brain so it can jostle around for however long and then come out as something cool. Call it inspiration, […]

(with special guest appearance by the singularity) It’s hard to know what to do when you don’t know what you want. Maybe I’m learning this lesson ridiculously late in life… but I’m finally learning it. I spent a lot of 2023 and basically all of 2024 trying to figure out what I wanted. Up to […]

(you gotta read this) Something you might not know about me is that I’m a cradle Episcopalian. What’s an Episcopalian? Basically we’re a lot like the Catholics, except the Pope isn’t the boss of us and we let our clergy get married to anybody they want to get married to. So anyway one of the […]

When you’re a service provider, especially an online service provider, they say YOU are your most important client. In other words, whatever service you offer, you need to make sure you do your absolute best at THAT thing, for yourself. If you’re a copywriter, you need awesome website copy.

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!

I finally found a freelance writer/course creator I could personally relate to

I've been looking into freelance writing for over a year now. There's a lot of information out there and a lot of people who claim to be able to teach the "best" way to go about being a writer…. I prefer your down-to-earth style of teaching.
