Happy Wednesday to TWJN supporters 👋 

I can’t believe it’s already the last day of July!!! How is your Q3 looking so far?

While sleuthing for writing opportunities on Twitter, I came across this pretty useful thread by Lauren Medlicott with some tips she has for newbie freelance journos. She just filed her 500th invoice after being a freelance journalist for just over four years, so you can definitely do it too!

If you’re interested in advertising your course or product in TWJN, I’ve still got a few slots open for August and September. Learn more about sponsorships here or shoot me an email at [email protected].
