This week on the podcast, Rachel and Lynne are chatting with freelance writer, journalist, consultant and media trainer Sue White. As a highly successful freelancer, Sue is all about knowing your own worth and charging accordingly.

She talks about:
- Where and how she finds her clients
- Why journalists need to do copywriting and content to make a good living
- How she secured a long-running column in prestigious newspapers
- Whether securing retainers works for freelancers
- How she set up a media training business with fellow journalist Ginger Gorman
