Ask Us Anything

This week on the podcast, Jenni and Wudan address questions from Writers’ Co-op members! They talk about how to renegotiate a project fee when the scope starts to creep; tracking the time you're spending on the unpaid, "squishy" work of coming up with ideas and sending pitches; navigating conflicts of interest when working with brands; and whether or not it's better to have a niche, or to keep your focus broad.
Now that season one is over, we've compiled every episode's resources into a workbook, which you can buy here. We also have a brand-new new offering: If you're just getting started with your freelance business, you'll want to enroll in freelance biz school @ The Writers’ Co-op Academy! We're offering two courses: One that helps you build a business plan (Biz Basics) and one to help you understand media contracts. It's like 1-1 coaching, but cheaper.

You're invited to support the podcast by becoming an official Writers' Co-op member on Patreon. All members $3 and up get access to event discounts, a Q&A form, and more. All-Access members receive special worksheets and other downloads along with each episode, plus an exclusive episode at the end of each season, and access to our Slack channel. And if you're a VIP or Pod Squad member, you also get monthly coaching sessions along with the aforementioned resources.  
If you're not a member, you can buy each episode's accompanying resources a la carte on our website. Episode transcriptions are also available there.
