About the Blog

Right now, you’re on the After Graduation blog, which has career advice, news, tips, and more for writers and non-writers alike. Whether you’re still in school, a recent graduate, or someone just struggling to find a career path that works, this blog is for you! Initially the After Graduation blog was exclusively for freelance writers, but today, it is a resource for people from all industries.

If you are a writer, though, check out the main After Graduation website - the After Graduation Article Bank! This site includes all the information you need to become a successful freelancer online, and if you have unanswered questions, you can also contact me directly and I’m happy to give you some free advice. Make sure to pick up my free ebook about reaching salary goals as a freelance writer. You can also check out Out of Thin Air: The Freelance Writer’s Guide to Finding Work When Bills are Due, in which I give you my top secrets to making money quickly as a freelance writer.
