WCP41 Sorting and archiving freelance articles
06/07/19 • 15 min
Whether your articles are published online or in print, you need to be able to make them readily available for potential clients to read online.
Simply having a list of links isn’t sufficient. Sites reorganize and your links go bad; your piece gets pulled or the publication closes; and paywalls prohibit access. Clips that look great on paper need different treatment. In this episode, we look at practical tools that solve how to archive freelance articles published online and how to create digital copies of paper clips.

WCP40 Warming up to your next client
Do you love your existing clients? Everything else being equal, somebody you’ve already worked with is more likely to give you new work than somebody who’s never heard of you. Freelance writers often lament not knowing the “right people” while overlooking the clients we’ve worked with in the recent past. Let’s look at the reasons we do this and how to value and nurture an existing client relationship.

WCP42 Writers and imposter syndrome
“I was lucky to get that assignment; it’s only because the editor knows me.” “I don’t know how I pulled that off ... or how I’ll ever do it again.” “They liked the pitch, but the article won’t live up to expectations.” Sound familiar? Imposter syndrome can derail writers at any stage.
Feeling like a fake takes its toll. It drains the pleasure and satisfaction from our work, and limits our ability to show up and take on new challenges for fear that we won’t be able to deliver.
Today we look at what imposter syndrome is and isn’t (including the debunking of myths, like why “fake it til you make it” is bad advice for writers with imposter syndrome), and how learning to manage imposter syndrome will allow you to instead feel confident and accepting of who you are as a writer.
