It’s not all about freelancing and hustling here at Victory or Death! In this final part of our writing workshop, Lyle and Elijah interview Abby Nitta about her path as a professional, from diving head first into journalism to jumping ship into corporate work. We also discuss working styles, how to write for different industries, and why it’s important to determine whether you’re cut out for the freelance writing hustle or a more stable career.

Wrapping your mind around the vast and sometimes head-bogglingly niche world of professional writing demands something a bit more than a “How To Break In,” guide. To kick off this workshop, new co-hosts Lyle Enright and Abby Nitta bring their experiences from academia, freelancing, content strategy, and journalism to the table so we can shed light on the different fields, mindsets, and information you need to get your feet wet.
