Living The Dream Job: A Day In The Life Of A Freelance Writer
Plenty of people dream of making it as a freelance writer and having the ability to choose both what they write and when they write it. While freelance writing is a great gig, there are plenty of challenges as well – something I can attest to as an on-and-off freelance writer since my college days!
According to ZipRecruiter, the average freelance writer salary varies state-by-state from about $50,000 a year to $75,000 a year. Not too shabby. Of course, it takes a lot of work to become a full-time freelance writer – building up a portfolio, connecting with clients, and staying on top of deadlines. And those numbers don’t reflect the many freelance writers, especially mothers, who pick that career path so that they can work fewer hours with more flexibility.
