Student Success Stories

Caroline Knudson

"Halfway through and already landed an article..."

“My name is Caroline and I recently purchased your course 4 Week J-School. I'm about halfway through and so far I have already landed an article with International Living. 

Thank you! I have a minor in journalism and I've learned more from your course than I did in four years at university.” –Caroline Knudson

Diane Dutchin

"Landed my first paid gig for one of my favourite magazines..."

“I acted on the information and landed my first paid gig for one of my favourite magazines. If you want to accelerate and take your writing to the next level, then J-School will do it. The information in this class is practical, fresh, and current. Responses were prompt and tailored to my situation, not a cookie-cutter response. The cost and value of J-School is an investment you benefit from in numerous ways, and again and again. “–Diane Dutchin, WriteEncourageEmpower  

"This was the first query I’ve ever written, and I got the assignment..."

“I am totally flabbergasted that this morning I received the green light from the national editor of Natural Awakenings magazine to write an article whose idea came from my participation in Carol & Linda’s most recent J-School! This was the first query I’ve ever written, and I got the assignment from a magazine whose readership is between 1-3 million. I am a complete novice to freelance writing, and I am totally over the moon. Thank you so much Carol and Linda for the push to brainstorm article ideas and the opportunity to fine-tune query letters in the J-School class.” –Lane Vail

Praise for Linda's classes:

Debbie Curtis

"I landed my first big clients... and have been earning a living as a freelancer for two years."

"Linda's Volume Marketing Challenge changed my life. Although I had taken a lot of writing classes, going through the challenge helped me learn various types of marketing. From E-mail, direct mail, cold calling, or social media, I learned the techniques of each and what works for me. 

I landed my first big clients via the challenge, and have been earning a living as a freelancer for 2 years. I can't recommend this course enough for serious writers who have the will to succeed and change their lives, their income, and their peace of mind by becoming their own boss." —Debbie Curtis, Palomino Hill Writing Services, Ithaca, NY
