It's just a few days before the biggest event of the year (in our calendars anyway!). It's time for The Content Byte Summit. Hosts Rachel & Lynne talk about the impressive line-up of speakers and all the panels and presentations they are looking forward to seeing this year.

Some of the presentations include how to:

→ find new high-paying clients in your niche
→ hear how to tweak your website to make it work better for you
→ find out what editors want (and meet three who commission!)
→ create digital products for an extra income stream
→ map out a freelance marketing plan you CAN stick to
→ write sales pages (and charge serious money)
→ hone your interviewing / storytelling skills (in an AI world)
→ shore up your systems and processes (SAVING you big $$$)
→ get all the pricing + money tips from two of the best in the biz

AND SO MUCH MORE.

And we might both be biased, but it's probably the best thing you'll do for your business this year.

The Content Byte Summit starts on Thursday 12 September, continuing to Saturday 14 September. Snap up one of the last remaining tickets (in person or virtual) at our website: https://thecontentbytesummit.com.au

This week on the podcast, Rachel is unwell, so Lynne is on her own talking with new author and court reporter Lucia Osborne-Crowley. Lucia's latest book, The Lasting Harm, Witnessing the Trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, is a powerful examination of the trial of Maxwell and all the behind-the-scenes machinations with the victims and the lawyers. We talk about:

• How Lucia's background as a lawyer prepared her for this work
• How she worked with Maxwell's victims and shared their story
• The legal hoops she had to jump through to publish the book
• The frustrations involved when she can't tell the whole story because of legal issues
• How she looks after herself despite writing about trauma
