My name is Jayme Wium, and I am a professional writer, ghostwriter, proofreader, editor and communication and relationship counsellor. In 2009, I broke free from the shackles of my "regular" job and took a chance on myself. I took the plunge into the unknown: the freelance writing world with a bit of communication coaching on the side.
Now, 12 years later, I look back and marvel at how my side hustle (writing product descriptions for a small company and privately meeting clients to help them become better communicators) skyrocketed into a thriving career. I now run my own content creation and ghostwriting business, along with a writer training business where I teach new and aspiring writers to hone their skills. I also help anxiety sufferers approach communication effectively.
I have joined Udemy to teach other writers what I know about the online freelance writing industry help other writers like you get ahead in the industry, and to assist people who want to become better communicators.
I plan to produce both in-person and animated courses. However, I want to offer the most value I can to my clients and students. If you ever want to reach out, connect with me on social media, or simply bump me a message - I am always happy to chat with newbie writers trying to break into the freelance writing market.
