Like every subreddit, the community it's free to join. There are no requirements as long as you read and accept the rules.
Once you enter the community, you can start interacting with other freelance writers worldwide. It's an awesome place to network, meet like-minded people, and bounce off ideas and insights. Members use the subreddit to ask questions and request advice or to share their knowledge with others.
You can tag your own posts with several flairs, to let others know at a glance what your post is about. For example, some common flairs in the subreddit are "Rates & Pay", "Starting Out", or "Advice & Tips". Since the subreddit doesn't allow link dumping, self-promotion, or job hunting, you will only find honest, relevant discussions between freelance writers.
The community offers two regular threads. On the one hand, the monthly accountability thread allows you to publicly state your goals and keep yourself accountable for your progress. On the other hand, the bi-weekly feedback and critique thread is perfect to share your writing for others to give you relevant feedback to improve. This is the only space where you are allowed to share links to your work.
Additionally, and especially if you are just starting out as a freelance writer, the community Index can be super helpful. The Index gathers useful posts from the community, full of advice and tips, on frequently asked questions for freelance writers. It covers topics like building a website/portfolio, invoices/payments, and managing clients. You can also filter posts by the flair "Resource" to find links, resources, and tools members are sharing.
