What is “Millennial Writer Life”?

MWL is a community for young writers trying to navigate the writing life.

How can MWL help me?

As a freelance writer and artist for the last seven years, I’ve picked up countless tips and frameworks along the way. From starting out writing articles for $5 while on vacation abroad and being scammed to contributing regularly to Teen Vogue and now being a published author, I’ve gone through the wringer. Low payments. Rought starts and all.

That’s why I made this guide that will help you get started with some basic concepts that will help you hit the ground running as a freelance writer. Take it from me. Help is always a good thing.

That’s where Millennial Writer Life comes in. Some things you can expect to learn more about:

  • How to get into freelancing

  • The different kinds of pitches to send to editors

  • How to build an online writing presence that helps you get a literary agent

  • Interviews between me and other writers

  • And more, at your request.

Also, by becoming a PAID SUBSCRIBER, you automatically get access to two exclusive video lessons on how to write a memoir.
