Today, we have Aleenah Ansari on the podcast. Aleenah is based in Seattle and as a writer, she covers travel in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, entrepreneurship, and representation in media.
Aleenah shares with us how she became interested in writing and discovered journalism in college. She shares with us her love telling and amplifying stories as well as the types of products and authors of color she loves to learn and share about.
Aleenah also shares her tips for pitching a publication and how she build relationships with editors. Aleenah mentions how she sets up 1 x 1 time with editors to learn what editors' priorities are.
Additionally, we explore the parallels of freelance writing and becoming a content creator. From mindset shifts of valuing our skills to asking to be paid, both aspiring content creators and freelance writers can learn from Aleenah's story.
Tune in to learn more about her journey as a freelance writer.
