The After Graduation Article Bank is geared toward writers who are new to the whole “freelance thing.” I remember how hard is was when I started, and how hard it can still be, years later. DON’T GIVE UP. If you’re devoted to learning this business and have a little talent when it comes to writing, you can make a living as a freelance writer. I don’t pretend to know all of the answers. I learn new things every day, and want to pass it all on, hopefully making your transition from school (or another career) to freelancing much easier than my own.

If you’re a beginner or new to the site, click on “New Writers: Start Here” and you’ll see the top articles for people who are just starting out. You can also check out my ebook, Out of Thin Air: The Freelance Writer’s Guide to Finding Work When Bills are Due, which is available on the sidebar to the right.

Don’t forget to check out the main After Graduation blog, which has awesome career advice, a free newsletter, and more for everyone trying to survive the “real world” after graduating college, whether you’re a soon-to-be/recent grad or someone who graduated many years ago.
