A podcast to help you write more, worry less, and share your work with the world. Hosted by writer Amber Petty (New York Times, Greatist, Bustle, Snooki's blog - jealous?), this show comes in three parts: Mondays: 5-Minute Writing Exercise (you'll be shocked how much you can do in 5 minutes) Wednesdays: Reframe & Relax ("meditations" to help you chill out your inner critic and take writing a little less seriously) Fridays: Find Out (answers to listener questions, writing advice from years of experience, and ways to actively put your work out there) Whether you're a freelance writer, a copywriter who wants to do more than figure out new ways to say "Buy Now", or a person who's always wanted to write but never gave it a shot, this show is for you! Each week, you'll write a little, gain a little confidence, and add new tools to your writing tool belt. A writing tool belt is probably just a pen and a backup charger for your laptop, but you know I mean.
Not sure how to start freelance writing? Amber discusses her complete career change at age 30, what she did to get started, and how Snooki absolutely lead to her byline in the New York Times.Have a question you'd like answered on the podcast?Email Amber@Amberpetty.comVisit AmberPetty.com/signup to get Amber's free writing job newsletterFollow Amber @ambernpetty on Instagram!
