Market Your Freelance Writing In 31 Days

“The problem isn’t the quality of the writing. The problem is the fact that many writers just don’t have the tools to properly promote themselves…”
- Thursday Bram, “Market Your Freelance Writing In 31 Days”

I first met Thursday about a year ago as part of the same career development blogging network. It has since been a pleasure to get to know Thursday better, not only for her range of experience and skills as a writer, but also for her willingness to help in any capacity. After recently sending her a (very long) email recounting my desire to travel, Thursday offered realistic options and gentle encouragement coupled with first-hand knowledge of working abroad. Her willingness to help those who are reaching out are one of the reasons why she remains high on my list of favorite freelance writers and bloggers.

Thursday’s blog always offers insights into what it means to be a writer and is a great guide for those looking to go beyond a passion and into the realm of the business of writing. Over the past few months, as I started down my own path as a part-time freelancer, I began to see additional value in her advice both for those looking to get into the field and those already immersed in it.

Whether you’re just starting out as a writer or have been a freelancer for years, Thursday’s new ebook Market Your Freelance Writing In 31 Days will help with everything from revisiting your goals and exploring your niche to querying and promoting your own work.

Up for grabs is Thursday’s ebook, Market Your Freelance Writing In 31 Days. To learn more about both Thursday and her writing, check out her website and follow her on Twitter.



Note: This giveaway will close and the recipient will be chosen on October 20.

    I am just starting out as a freelance writer. It’s enjoyable but challenging. It’s great to see that there are books out there to help!

    Thursday is a talented writer and when I first heard about “Market Your Freelance Writing in 31 Days” I thought, “I’d love to read that”. :-)

    Marketing really is one of the hats to wear as a writer. These days so much depends on the legwork we do for ourselves and sometimes it is hard to know where to start. When some things don’t work it is hard to know what else to try. Even good writing can succeed with the right marketing; great writing disappears without it.
