As a thirty-something who is just now finding her way into freelance writing, I really appreciate this. It's true that there is so much out there for newbies getting into writing or journalism and it often is overwhelming trying to know what to read, what to do, what resource to buy, subscribe to, etc. I really appreciate how down to earth you are in this newsletter and preparing me for the struggles that lie ahead. I hope that you find the resources and people you need to help prepare you better for your future as well.
Thanks Lizzy. I’m a freelancer who feels simultaneously lost and found pretty much all the time. It’s a great way to work (I don’t think I could ever return to a 9-5) but can be really tough and a bit of a headfuck, especially for women. Your newsletter is great and I’m very happy I discovered it!

Lizzie. This resonates so hard. The purpose of my coaching business has been to help early and mid career women find their place.
What I've always found is that if you are senior. You get exec support. Bit not much really for the mid and lower leagues.
So how do we expect women to be ' up there' when there is no support.
Also women finding out what it actually is that they want to do is a massive barrier.
Get clear on this and you will Ind the path. If you need some support. Give me a shout - I owe you one 😉
