Business of Freelance Writing

My experiences making what I love into a freelance writing business.

Decade

February 25, 2022 //  by Terra Osterling

– Me, November 15, 2010 Those words opened my first blog post. If ever a life had a turning point, for me it was then. That post kicked off a run of publishing a weekly blog post for a full three years. (Count ‘em – that’s 156 consecutive weeks, 156 posts. And they’re all still …

Divining The Key

April 14, 2017 //  by Terra Osterling

This spring marks five years of freelance writing. It was a slow start. I spent those first months reading and researching, while meeting my nephew’s school bus. Over the following two years, I cultivated business relationships and my time slowly began to fill with freelance work; I was ramping up for a big start to …

Sticky Stories: Notes from a Trade Show

March 10, 2016 //  by Terra Osterling

One week ago today, I stretched way out of my comfort zone by participating as a vendor at the annual Women of Focus Trade Show. The one day event was the culmination of four months of expending time and money to prepare for my first big trade show. Why would a writer exhibit at a …

What have I been doing?

June 5, 2015 //  by Terra Osterling

Has it really been almost five months since my last post? What have I been doing?, you ask. Not writing blog posts, clearly. The short answer is just that I’ve been working: getting new writing work, maintaining recurring projects, and logging off at the end of the week to leave behind the keyboard until Monday …

Busy. Work.

October 6, 2013 //  by Terra Osterling

Working for myself as a freelancer means that I work a lot without getting paid, because I have to work to get work. And that keeps me rather busy. I’m not complaining. I have prepared a quote every week for the last six weeks. That means I review a possible project, try to distill the …

Visual Aid + A few words = Lasting Message

September 22, 2013 //  by Terra Osterling

Election season has begun. Though, 2013 is not a national, state or even a mid-term election year. The lawn signs are fewer and the “intensity” of the public discourse is lower (unless you count debt-ceilings and affordable healthcare…but that’s a whole other topic).
