About this mini course: This course is about the specific challenges that non-native English speaker freelance writers face on a daily basis. In this mini course, I offer my best tips as a fellow non-native speaker. I understand that everyone is facing different challenges. I understand that being white and living in the US is a privilege and may make some things easier. I also acknowledge that certain difficulties I’m facing (e.g., having a strong accent and facing physical/mental health challenges) may not be applicable to all. These tips are not a one-size-fits-all solution and certainly not quick fixes or get-rich-quick ideas. These are simply some ideas that I feel like are never covered and may help fellow non-native speakers.
