Do you like to write as much as I do? My name is Ashley, and I'm a professional copywriter, journalist, and marketing strategist. In addition to writing for wonderful media outlets, companies, non-profits, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, I run Talk Freelance To Me. We're a community that helps fellow women writers build flourishing, sustainable writing businesses! I also host The Talk Freelance To Me Podcast. I have been writing professionally since 2005, and my work has appeared in USA Today, among other publications. I started freelancing in 2009. In fact, freelance writing saved my financial life after I got laid off from my magazine job a day after my birthday … and only a couple of months after I purchased my first home. I’ve been around the communications block. I’ve worked 9-5s as a … ✔️newspaper reporter ✔️ magazine editor ✔️technical writer ✔️ marketing manager, and ✔️ public relations practitioner. I also started two digital marketing agencies here in Orlando, FL that employed 19 people. I’ve been fortunate to work as a freelancer and also hire and lead freelancers. Whether you are an aspiring freelance writer or a veteran, I would love to connect with you!
