In RN2writer courses, we teach nurses and other clinicians how to prospect for writing gigs using techniques like sending article queries, sending Letters of Introduction, and using LinkedIn. One technique we don’t teach (or recommend)? Paying a subscription fee to have lists of writing gigs delivered to your inbox.  

Find out why we think that’s a useless idea for freelance nurse writers – and get three tips for the best way to find the most lucrative writing gigs.
