The Urban Writers Academy

I loved taking this course. It was so user-friendly, easy to understand, and gave me the confidence I needed to get started. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start their own freelancing career!

A wide array of knowledge which isn't readily available before you start your business. I would highly recommend this course be taken before you consider putting a business together. Excellent advice and suggestions throughout. Branding myself is something I have worked on in the past and it wasn't easy. Now that I have worked through this chapter, I feel more confident in making the move to develop my brand more. Likely my favorite part of the who course, is the focus on self-care. Telling someone to look after themselves after learning how to work so hard is vital to many. Definitely be carrying this message with me.

This course is extremely informative - it covers topics I have never even thought of regarding branding and networking. Connecting with customers in the most effective way sounds easy on the surface, but not so easy when you try to plan the steps. It even covers how to connect with and grow your customer base, and also how to perfect the image you put out to customers. If that wasn't enough already, they also cover how to manage taxes (something freelancers definitely dread, ha), how to calculate quotes and write up contracts, different editing platforms to join, and even different payment alternatives. So much helpful information - if you're just starting out or want to optimize your current situation, take this course!

This course is invaluable as an asset if you are ready to become a freelance editor!
