Getting published in magazines and newspapers can seem impossible...

But what if I told you that there was a way to get your foot in the door and your name in top-tier publications without any 'experience'?

Let me tell you a secret 🤫

The easiest way to get published in magazines, newspapers and online outlets is by writing a personal essay using your own life experience.

Huh? Like the boring assignments we wrote in English class or to get into college?

Nope. A personal essay isn’t what it sounds like.

It’s more of a mini-memoir.

But rather than writing a book, you’re writing an article.

An article about a quirky, funny, inspiring, powerful, evocative, challenging, revealing, emotional or life-changing experience you’ve had.

And you've got all the experiences you need to write one.

Maybe you want to write about... 

If you're thinking, "I could write something like that," you're right.

You can.

Personal essays can be about almost anything, as long as you’re willing to share a story – your story.

Editors are always looking for personal essays

The start of something big?

Hi, I’m Lindy.

The first article I ever had published was a personal essay in 2010. 

I wrote it on the spur of the moment, sent it off to a newspaper and it was published the next week. 

I was paid $400. 

And I was hooked. 

Since then, I’ve won awards for my writing and have written personal essays that have appeared in top Australian and international publications.

I want to share my knowledge with you.
