The Writers' Co-op Season 3: The Business Edit Application

We're planning something a little different for season three of The Writers’ Co-op podcast, and we're pretty excited about it!

In each episode, we will coach a freelancer through the most challenging parts of their business, performing what is, essentially, a business audit -- check out season 2's business audit episode to hear our version of it -- and providing that freelancer with a free coaching session.

If you so choose, we will do our best to keep your identity anonymous– but you must be willing to share candid details about your business and your story.

Are you interested in joining us? If so, fill out the survey below and we will reach out if it seems like a good fit.

ALL APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY MIDNIGHT PST ON JANUARY 26, 2020.

The journalist: You want to stick to journalism alone but can't make enough money doing just that

The hustler: You live off of $100 assignments and feel completely burned out

The scrambler: You're just taking whatever assignments you can get, and feel like you need a better sense of direction

The imposter: Other people say you're really good at your work but you have trouble believing it

The brand writer: You're a trained journalist but you ended up doing mostly brand work... and now you want to get back to journalism again. But how?

The starry-eyed one: You recently graduated or recently started freelancing, but you have no idea what comes next

The frazzled parent: You decided to freelance because of the flexibility to spend more time with your kids, but you just can’t find a moment to figure out what direction to go in

The overworked one: You have a way-too-long list of potential gigs that you can't complete on your own, but saying no feels impossible

The dreamer: You have big, long-term goals but you struggle with day-to-day prioritization

The money-shy one: You just want to do the work! You don't want to talk about (or look at) the money stuff.

Required

Are you willing to share details about your business in a candid way? Are you willing to tell everyone how much money you make, and what you're struggling with? (We'll do our best to keep your identity anonymous if you want, but please list any reservations or worries you have about being transparent.) *
