Why I Created This Writing Challenge
When I started freelancing in 2022, I realized that consistently publishing content on LinkedIn was one of the most powerful ways to attract inbound leads as an introvert.
Today, I have more than 15,000 LinkedIn followers, regular inbound enquiries, and content that gets discovered through both Google and AI-powered search experiences.
A big part of this came from combining:
SEO thinking
healthcare marketing experience
and trust-building content
That’s exactly what I want to help you start practicing during this challenge.

freelance medical writers
health writers
healthcare marketers
healthcare professionals
medical communications professionals
writers transitioning into health niches
I try to have a mix of experienced and less experienced writers so that you all benefit the most from the group interactions.

Each task is designed to take ~30 minutes a day on average. The goal is to help you create one short, client-ready writing sample by the end of the 5 days. If you're a beginner though, you can probably expect to spend an extra ~2 to 3 hours on research on Day 2 (as shared by previous participants).
-
You’ll get all daily instructions by email. If you fall behind, you can catch up anytime during the challenge week. You will also have the following week to publish on LinkedIn.
You'd need to share your post on LinkedIn by the deadline given though, to be taken into consideration for the final prize.
-
Yes, the writing challenge is currently free to join. I keep the groups intentionally small so I can provide meaningful support and feedback throughout the week.
