Everyone likes to fancy themselves a freelance writer, but the reality of it can be kind of intimidating. Can you actually earn real money, where do you even begin, and once you do, how do you keep track of all your projects? We had a lot of questions. Lucky for us (and you!), one of our favorite successful freelancers, Amelia Edelman — whose work has appeared on/in The New York Times’ T Brand Studio, NPR, Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, Parents, and Gloria — agreed to join us for an Open Book chat so we could pick her brain about all of it. We learned about the importance of anchor clients and tapping your network, how to keep track of your finances and save for taxes (the fun part!) and how to get to work on things you want to work on. It was truly a delight of a conversation in which we learned so much. Click play above to watch the whole thing!
