Announcing my new newsletter — Forever Freelance

Announcing my new newsletter — Forever Freelance

• Forever Freelance is live
• Not a book. A newsletter instead.
• Ghosted. Rejected. Still Freelance.

​

Hi,

​
Remember I said I was writing a book called Forever Freelance? Four chapters in, I realised something: I can’t write a book. My process is a nightmare of edits, re-edits, and self-notes. Add dyslexia to the mix and it became exhausting.

​

So I’ve decided to launch Forever Freelance as a newsletter instead. Practical, immediate, and shaped by what actually gets read. Trial and error in public.

​

Here’s what you can expect:

​

• Honest stories from 30 years of freelance life
• The reality of being ghosted, rejected, and left without feedback
• The toll freelancing takes on mental health — and how we cope
• Tools, resources, and advice on mortgages, pivoting, and survival strategies

​
​

👉 The first edition is out now: here​

​

This isn’t a biography — it’s a space to share the highs and lows of freelance life, and to build something useful for all of us trying to survive in uncertain times.
​

Welcome aboard.
​
