In this episode I’m chatting to Lindy Alexander.

Lindy Alexander is an Australian freelance food and travel writer who regularly contributes to international publications such as The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald and more. Lindy is the founder of The Freelancer's Year - a popular blog and hub for online writing courses and resources for aspiring and established freelance writers.

In this interview we chat about how Lindy created a successful freelance writing business, and then also went on to create a second course creation, coaching and mentoring business supporting other writers to do the same.

Key points in this episode:

• How Lindy created a successful freelance food and travel writing business.
• Freelance travel writing can seem glamourous but it can involve long days, packed schedules, and a lot of work.
• Why Lindy decided to start a blog and share her freelance writing journey, and her decision to be transparent about her income.
• Being a successful freelance writer requires not just good writing skills, but also business skills like marketing and pitching to editors.
• There is no one set path to success in course creation and launching; it's important to do what works for you and your strengths.
• Launches and courses are just iterations in a long career; don't fixate on one failure or success, but keep iterating and improving.
