Nice! What are you freelancing? I was going to look at science communicator for nonprofit research… and writing articles but I’m not sure in what/where to find that

it pays like shit but again it’s a resume builder, gets your name out there. even tho I’m mostly doing nonfiction work, I plan to use some connections I made/make to segue into editing/publishing fiction
