My own experiences as a freelancer also included: get good at figuring out who pays well, who pays on time, who doesn’t have to be chased. Glad to hear it is going well. Substack is definitely a boon for journalists striking out on their own.
Congrats on making it to your first year as a freelancer! It's not easy and not everyone is capable of sticking to it and coming out of it in good terms. It's hard, and scary, but so rewarding! The best is still to come. I'm loving your writing and enjoying every single post. And didn't know you were living in Barcelona! If you're still here, I'd love to meet some time 🫶
Well done for taking the plunge Molly. That was a fascinating read. Thank you.
Excellent read Molly - has opened up my mind to so many more questions for you !! Well done girl - never doubted you could do it “alone” 🤩🤩🤩
Thanks Gio 💖
