I signed up at the age of 59 and followed the steps in the online course religiously. And WOW. It turned my life around completely. I was a child's nurse and a speech writer on the side. Now I write articles for 20+ magazines and travel all over Europe to interview people. (Yep, in corona times, the internet is a great meeting place too.) Don't wait, this program will change your life!

Before doing my interview with Tim Ferriss, the author of the bestselling book "4-hour work week" for Business Insider, I was a bit nervous. Thanks to The Magazine Writer's Academy, the interview went GREAT! The strategic advice gave me everything I needed and more to nail the interview. You guys give so much value to the aspiring writer. It's a must!

I sold 9 articles right away! I’ve learned more than I did during 4 years of journalism studies. Before I signed up, I was confused about how to get a YES from the editor in real life. I never could get through to them with my ideas. But after following the academy advice, I sold 9 articles in one week! I am blown away. Anyone who wants to succeed as a freelance journalist should definitely do this.
