For all of the interest in freelance writing, it’s surprising how little good information is  available on the topic. Tim Herrera is the anecdote to that. The former New York Times journalist now runs Freelancing with Tim, a newsletter and consulting service that offers advice, insight, and guidance into freelancing. On the pod, Tim offers invaluable advice on starting a freelance hustle, from building your digital presence to crafting the perfect pitch. He gives an overview of the freelancing landscape today, and what strategies you can implement to put your best foot forward. Tim and Jon also talk about drawing the line between your work and your identity (which can be really hard as a writer), and how helping others uplifts everyone in the industry.
