As a long-time reader of FWJ, I’ve learned a lot and landed new clients through the daily freelance writing job listings. To blog for Freelance Writing Jobs would be an honor, and since I’m already a loyal reader, I know the blog’s style, tone and audience.
With over 10 years writing experience and more than two years blogging and social networking experience, I have lots of advice to share with the FWJ community. I’m not afraid to reveal my freelance writing mistakes and share advice on what you can do to avoid making the same mistakes. You’ll also learn from my accomplishments, so that you can apply what I did to achieve your own success. Not only will you learn from my own trails and tribulations, but I’ll dedicate time to research writing forums, writing groups and social networks to discover what writers want to know. Then, based on my research, I’ll create content on those topics. Furthermore, I’m sure you’re tired of reading the same advice repeatedly. With that in mind, I’ll bring you fresh freelance writing advice — advice that’s not overdone.
If you’re gracious enough to give me the opportunity to share what I’ve learned over the years, as well as what I’ll continue to learn, then I vow to answer any questions you may have, listen to your suggestions and consider them, and encourage you to keep reaching for your dreams. My hope is that through my words and networking with you, we’ll reach success together. After all, writers should stick together, and as a team, we’ll travel the writing highway together — no matter how rough it may get.
Thank you ever so much for your time and consideration! I look forward to being a part of such a friendly community and working together on our journey to success.

I concur with #4 - well done! Nothing flashy, too dry or it doesn’t sound like a used car advertisement. Kudos to you for nailing the topic on the head.

Concise and beautifully put together. I could learn a lot from someone who has mastered the art of beautiful brevity.
