Freelance writing without the fluff

No hacks. No “six figures in six months.” Just straight-talking advice, honest stories, and tools that actually help.

I’m Iain G West — full-time freelance writer, former police officer, and someone who’s written everything from casino reviews to mental health essays just to pay the bills (and keep my sanity).

I started this site to tell the truth about freelance life — the burnout, the impostor syndrome, the undercharging, and eventually, the freedom.

If you’re here to build a freelance career that pays the bills without wrecking your head, you’re in the right place.

You’ll find:

• Real-world lessons from someone who’s done the late nights and low rates
• Honest reflections on writing, worth, and burnout
• Free and paid tools I actually use to stay organised and well

No polished influencer vibes. Just a real person making this work — and helping you do the same.
