A quick hello from Liz

See who’s behind the Inkwell.

The Inkwell is a real community, hosted by a real freelance writer. If you're wondering what Liz is like before you join, start here.

🤝 It's Better Together

The biggest mistake I made in my freelance writing career? Not connecting with more freelancers!

Community makes us better. Stronger. More successful.

I know...because it's my story. I've been a freelance writer since 2006, but I didn't join the community until 2022. Since I've jumped all in on community, my business has grown more in those few years than all the other years combined.

Building alone is possible...but it's better together!

Community unlocks all the benefits of networking:

  • Friendships (in an often-lonely profession)
  • Job referrals from a trusted network
  • Visibility opportunities, such as podcast invites
  • Learning (So. Much. Learning!)
  • Inbound leads...and more work
“I love this community! I would encourage anyone on the fence to give it a try and jump on in.”

— Colleen Kienbaum, RN, BSN, CPAN, CAPA

A lot more than a place to post questions.

Whatever stage you're at, the goal is simple: give you useful people, useful answers, and useful resources for actually running a freelance writing business.

“There are a lot of sources out there for starting and running a freelance writing business, but I’ve gained more useful knowledge from your posts, podcasts, and literature than anywhere else.”

Portrait of Liz Heflin, host of The Inkwell

👋 Meet Liz Heflin, the Inkwell Host

Hi there! I'm Liz.

I've been a freelance writer, editor, and content marketer since 2006.

In the work realm, there's really only two important things to know about me...

  • I love my job. A lot.
  • I'm dedicated to helping other freelance writers have as much success as possible.

Freelancing has given so much to my life. The flexibility to set my own schedule, be a present mom, and travel. The creativity and autonomy of being my own boss. Financial freedom.

Running your own business can be overwhelming. (Confusing. Scary. Lonely.)

The Inkwell is a place where we can all support one another, get answers, and lift each other to new entrepreneurial heights.

If you joined today...where could your business be in one year?
