Zara Hanawalt on becoming a successful freelance writer

Asked By Ayana

This week, I'm chatting with Zara Hanawalt, a full-time freelance writer who's been published in publications like Glamour, Parents, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, The Huffington Post, and many more. We discuss how she became a successful freelance writer, what it's like to be underrepresented as a South Asian woman, how to pitch and find story ideas, and how to deal with rejection. She's a delight, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
