About this episode
The goal for any freelancer is to have a full pipeline, working on projects that interest and excite you. Melbourne-based writer Shane Cubis is doing just that - and in our continuing series of successful freelancers, he chats to us about his very interesting career trajectory - which has included editing the notorious P mags, writing for The Chaser and in recent years, working for clients that range from start-ups to universities. In this episode we talk about...
- What editing 'the P mags' taught him
- Who he's written for, and how he gets clients
- How he's carved out a writing niche for his humour / specific tone of voice
- Digital tools he uses a lot, and why freelancers shouldn't balk at learning new programs
- His tips for writers starting out (including why you shouldn't fear slow patches)
- What to do if you want to flex your funny bone as a writer
- And much more!
