Course Overview
All the tips, techniques and templates you need to build a sustainable career as a freelance writer. Not for beginners!
Would you like to quit your day job as a writer to become a freelance?
Or are you already a freelance writer but you're struggling to find clients?
Maybe you've had some success as a writer but you'd like to find more and better-paying freelance writing jobs?
I've been writing professionally for more than two decades and, in that time, I've learned all there is to know about building a successful freelance writing career. This course lifts the lid on exactly what it takes to be a successful freelance copywriter. It's packed with proven tips for building a business from your writing talent.
I created the course out of a desire to give something back to a profession that's given me so much. I've lost count of the number of times fellow writers have told me I've got a real knack for negotiating great rates with clients. This knack stems from my firm inner belief that writing is highly skilled work that deserves to be rewarded well.
That's why I'm always here for my students. When you sign up for this course, you won't just get a stack of great info and templates. You'll also have a writer's champion right by your side.
Not sure what to quote on that job a client's asked you to pitch for? Struggling to find new writing gigs? Stuck in a rut with clients who don't seem to value what you do? Whatever's on your mind, message me through the course and we'll thrash out your options together.

I knew close to nothing about copywriting, except for notes that I’d taken on my own which was only about 2 pages. I definitely feel like I have a greater selection in my arsenal now. Thank you so much, Clare! Keep doing what you’re doing, I look forward to seeing more of you, perhaps, even on LinkedIn!
