Today was a very cool first for me -- coaching a client in Shanghai, my 1st in China. Even better, her partner turned out to be from my hometown and alma mater, so a lively coaching call ended up as a lovely personal connection. If you're an ambitious writer, let's talk! caitlinkelly.com/coaching

Another week begins -- and more pitching! If you're a freelance writer trying to sell more faster, let's talk. I've helped dozens of writers worldwide do so, reviewing/sharpening theirs, offering them new angles and markets. #writing #freelancetip caitlinkelly.com/coaching

Waking up to learn that Denmark bakeries are now selling Donald Trump Moron Cakes and it’s what I live for. Here’s the description…

I know there are some freelance writers here -- I hope you'll join me in NY and Matt Potter in London for this super helpful webinar on pitches that SELL. We filled it 4 times in '24 to rave reviews. Feb. 9 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pitching-f...

Two rules I follow on social media: “It’s basic science!” - always asserted by people who failed basic science “Explain to me like I’m 5!years old” - asserted by people without an adequate education demanding the world bow to them. Both are auto blocks

Not sure how many of you are fellow freelancers here -- but want to let you know about a cool meet-up Jan, 26 FREE with me in NY and @mattpotteruk.bsky.social in London. We've got peers worldwide coming to talk about what we do. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/journalism...

No more scented candles or notebooks, the most generic of gifts. Give an ambitious writer what they most need - an hour of focused individual coaching from an expert who's helped 50+ worldwide already. Me. Many testimonials on my website. #gifts #holidaygifts #writing caitlinkelly.com/coaching

Finally binged Seasons 2 and 3 of Somebody Somewhere. Every bit as astounding as people say.

Who hasn't bowed to the Felon publications: Pro Publica Rolling Stone PBS Vanity Fair (I’m not sure, but maybe The New Yorker?) Mother Jones Deadline Whitehouse with Nicole Wallace, The Rachel Maddow Show, The ReidOut with Joy Reid, The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, All In with Chris Hayes.

If you hope to sell your writing to journalism outlets, an essay, op-ed or reported story, you may need skilled help. I've been coaching writers from Sydney to Edinburgh to St. Croix to Montana to Singapore for decades. Book an hour session with me and let's get to work! caitlinkelly.com/coaching

Thanks United Healthcare for once again denying my pain meds. I'm a cancer patient w a bad prognosis and in constant unmanageable pain, but just keep counting beans.

You really couldn’t propose a more insane way to blow up our economic system than to do away with the FDIC.

Hahaha of course. Perfect. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The 15th c is back. Fuck these people.

Many new and renewed connections/friendships we just made in France and Switzerland. Have lived decades in a suburban NY town of great charm -- and intense/wearying loneliness as I'm not obsessed with work/family and never fit in well here. Feel 100% at home in Europe. @zanmerusteffgen.bsky.social

Unbelievable. Let's bring back both childhood diseases AND child labor! #RepublicanValues

Dear Elon and Vivek, Remove the income cap on Social Security. That solves most of the problem. But, you touch one cent of my hard-earned retirement income and we’ll make the French Revolution look like a tea party

4th time lucky?! I signed up to mentor 1st-job journalists thru Report for America, volunteer. Still pals w the 1st, 2nd one poor fit for both, 3rd ghosted after crisis. Optimistic about the 4th. First Zoom gave her a ton of story strategies which she appreciated. I have no kids, so enjoy this opp.

Back from a month away in France/Switzerland. Glad to be back but have never felt truly at home in a place (suburban NY) devoted to $$$, work, family. (Everywhere?) Inspiring to connect w so many friends over there, old + new. Sitting in a 12th c church listening to the organist practice was bliss.

Just joined. Still (sorry!) on X but curious to meet like-minded people here. I'm a career journalist, a Canadian long in NY. I coach fellow writers worldwide and do webinars for writers with Matt Potter, who's on here as well.

Alright, who made this? 🤣

Canadians should read Project 2025, I did. It took me days to recover. Read it and remember Harper and Poilievre endorsed it.

Oh how nice it is to see no shitty ads every other post.
