Freelance Writing Coach

I listened to a few episodes thinking they were just having a bad day. All of the episodes I listened to were very discouraging, depressing, and like they really dreaded recording the episode. Honestly, felt like I may as well give up on my freelance journey after listening to the 2025 outlook episode.

I just found this podcast a couple of weeks ago, and though I haven't even listened to half the episodes, it has already educated and inspired me so much.

I was recently laid off from my corporate job as a Customer Success Manager and I plan to go back to freelance writing and editing, which was my previous career for more than 10 years.

Emma and Kaleigh have updated my knowledge of tools, processes, and so many other aspects of freelance writing, and I honestly can't wait to get back in the ga... more

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to reach out to you both for this one and say Thank You! Thank you for being real on your podcast and for the short, but extremely informative messages that you produce. I came across your podcast about a month ago & yours is my “go to” to listen to while I’m traveling. I’ve listened to almost every one of your podcasts now and most of them I’ve saved because they are that informative. The delivery of your messages is spot on and I feel like I’m getting to take ... more

Loads here for writers and everyone interested in becoming a writer! It’s especially useful to understand how other writers are finding success and the different ways of working.

These two women are the types of clients I work with and their perspective on the writing process, subcontracting, balancing life and work, editing, and just generally how to exist is such candid and valuable information for all writers, editors, and freelance... more

I’ve been a freelance writer for many years, but have always done it part time around my children’s schedules. Listening to Kaleigh and Emma has helped me start to think about what I’m doing as a legitimate business and something I can turn into full-time work once my kids are a little older. Thanks ladies!

Kaleigh and Emma keep it so real talking about the business of freelance writing. I’m lucky to know both of them in real life, but I love how deep the conversations go without taking up too much of my time. Because let’s face it, who has hours a week to listen to podcasts? The best 20 minutes of my week. Keep going!

These two are a breath of fresh air when it comes to potentially boring subject matter (no offense.) So great to hear from two smart women who approach important topics within this space.

After listening to a handful of episodes I can tell this is a great resource! The podcast has really solid content—it covers issues that are relevant to freelance writing, of course, but also running a small business and professionalism with clients and coworkers. But importantly it’s also entertaining and to-the-point—they make these relatively dry topics interesting, without rambling. 5 stars

Whether you’re a freelance write with years of experience under your belt or a total beginner, you’ll know more than you did before tuning in.

Not only do Emma and Kaleigh have great chemistry but also they have very different experiences, giving the listener varying perspectives on a topic. Couple that with a good sense of humor and their positive vibes, making this a must-listen.

Also, the podcast is packed with golden nuggets that you can put into practice.

No bogus promises. No B.S.

I never liked listening to podcasts until one day while out on a walk, I decided to give it a try to make better use of my time. I looked for podcasts for freelancers, and I found several. But what turned me into an avid podcast listener is the Freelancing Writing Coach podcast. It’s my go-to—meaning I’ve listened to several episodes more than once—when I’m out for a long walk or a run. I swear, I stopped listening to songs because of this podcast! Not exaggerating.

What I love about is it how... more
