On episode 24 of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast I talked all about the life of a freelance writer with author and freelancer Jason Brick. If you’re interested in making actual money with your writing, this is a great place to start.
In the interview, we discussed:
- how he built a life as a full-time freelance writer;
- how he got a gig helping a former madame write her memoir;
- the greatest misconception he had about freelance work;
- three habits of highly profitable freelance writers;
- what the food is like in Malaysia;
- why freelance writers should attend conferences not about writing;
- specific ideas for building a freelance writing business.
Plus, on Today in Writing, the anniversary of Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

His best-selling books cover topics from writing for a living to being stupid and drunk in the presence of attractive women.
