Harlow Advocate Spotlight

Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Fenwick, a creative studio known for uncommonly clear writing, with clients ranging from Salesforce to Shopify.

They’ve developed a writing course that can help you write with greater precision, concision, and ease in just 24 hours. (It takes three weeks, 2-3 hours per week.)

Here’s what Linsey Knerl, a published author with 16 years of writing experience has said:

“I'm just on day 2 of being in a real, live human community dedicated to helping everyone think AND write better. I'm having unrivaled personal growth in such a short time.”

Community and Connection This Summer

“Find people who get it. Most freelancers get a confused look when trying to explain their job to friends and family. It’s why working for yourself can be so isolating — no matter how hard we try to explain what we do, people outside the industry find it hard to understand.” More from Elise Dopson on the importance of community and connection.

One of the coolest parts of running your business is the opportunity to build relationships with other entrepreneurs who are also charting their own paths. You get to opt into the communities that resonate, cultivating spaces that make your freelance journey a whole lot more fun. So get out there! Here are some top freelance communities we recommend.

Since X is such a thriving spot to connect with other freelancers, we thought we’d give you a starting list of awesome humans to follow. These people are tweeting about freelancing on the reg, and we’ve learned a ton just from following them.
