    Owning your age as a freelancer: The Wrinkly Writer - Mary Cameron

    Owning your age as a freelancer: The Wrinkly Writer - Mary Cameron

    Aged 58 Mary found herself staring ageism in the face.
    Full time work wasn’t coming her way. And she realised perhaps she didn’t want it to. Maybe it was time for a change.

    With age comes experience. A stack of it in writing, even if she didn’t know what a copywriter was. Loads of it in managing projects. Dealing with people. Giving and taking feedback…

    Aged 68 Mary finds herself staring at the face of The Wrinkly Writer. Owning that age with pride.
    10 years of successfully freelancing with people who love working with her. Mentoring new writers. Switching Australia for life in France. Prioritising health in mind and body alongside the work that she loves. You get the sense Mary is only just getting started.

    Art Beyond the Arches: From McDonald's to a varied diet of design & illustration for freelancer Dan Bailey

    Art Beyond the Arches: From McDonald's to a varied diet of design & illustration for freelancer Dan Bailey

    Dan is an experienced designer and illustrator.
    He went freelance twice. First for creative freedom. Secondly to free him up for his family.

    Starting out as a designer for McDonald's, he wanted a more varied diet of projects. With a lot of time freelancing in agencies, Dan learnt to stand out, be indispensable and build relationships to expand his chance of finding work. He also flexed himself creatively with illustration side projects (after college tutors said he’d never make a living from drawing!)

    Adding a unique flair to his freelancer personal brand as 'Rubber Penguin’. He says there’s too many Dan Baileys. But here’s one you won’t forget.

    Copywriter Adri Kopp

    Copywriter Adri Kopp

    From big cat zookeeper to taming words as a freelance copywriter, Adri's freelancing story starts a little differently. Burnout led to her quitting the zoo before even securing a paying client.
