Welcome to The Friendly Freelancer, a supportive newsletter for creative freelancers

The Friendly Freelancer is a bimonthly newsletter by me, Linda A. Thompson, a Belgium-based writer and journalist who went freelance straight after college.

What is this newsletter about? I like to say that it deals with the emotional rather than the business side of freelancing.

Readers have for instance emailed me to say it is “so recognisable”, mentioned going “yes, yes, YES” whenever they read it, likened it to “low-key therapy for freelancers”, and … my personal favourite: “Yours remains the only newsletter I stop whatever I'm doing to read as soon as it arrives, without fail.”

I founded The Friendly Freelancer with my professional bestie Selma Franssen in 2020, one month before the world melted down. Today, it has hundreds of readers, most of them freelancer, some not. The community that has developed along with this newsletter is one of the things I’m proudest of.

P.S. If you end up enjoying this newsletter, you can help me keep it going by buying me a coffee on Ko-fi.

See you in your inbox,

Linda
