Client Testimonials

Success Stories

"I like how simple this approach is. No overly complicated phrasing to hook a client and no long convoluted messages to explain what exactly you do. Great advice!"

FZ

This program helped me to know what freelance writing is, and the actual steps on how to start. Instead of a vague idea of wanting to be a freelance writer, I now have concrete steps I have started.  This gave an extensive overview of what to expect as a nurse writer, and how to prepare myself to start out as a freelancer.

 

Very easy to read guide, providing lots of valuable insights into the industry.

-Jennifer Sols, RN

If you're looking for a friendly, nurturing, authentic and wise coach, Janelle is the one for you.

Meeting her 1-on-1 completely changed the trajectory of my Health writing business. She exposed me on how to approach clients the "right" way with utmost guidance every single step. Her passion of helping other writers succeed sets her apart from every coach that I've known. From "ick" to "awesome" , her Introduction to Health Writing course opened a plethora of options I never knew of being in the Medical field myself! I can't thank her enough for all that she's done for me.

And if you're stuck in a rabbit hole or looking to start with Health/Medical writing, I'd highly recommend Janelle.

FAQ

Is this a scam?

What happens if there are changes to freelancing practice?
