Owning your age as a freelancer: The Wrinkly Writer - Mary Cameron
Listen now
Description
Aged 58 Mary found herself staring ageism in the face. Full time work wasn’t coming her way. And she realised perhaps she didn’t want it to. Maybe it was time for a change. With age comes experience. A stack of it in writing, even if she didn’t know what a copywriter was. Loads of it in managing projects. Dealing with people. Giving and taking feedback… Aged 68 Mary finds herself staring at the face of The Wrinkly Writer. Owning that age with pride. 10 years of successfully freelancing with people who love working with her. Mentoring new writers. Switching Australia for life in France. Prioritising health in mind and body alongside the work that she loves. You get the sense Mary is only just getting started.
