We’re Linda Ruggeri and Brittany Dowdle, the authors of Networking for Freelance Editors, and we created this community to help other editors learn to network in a way that will create opportunities, build community, cultivate success, and inspire self-confidence.

The Networking Studio Community is an incubator that, along with our book/courses, can help you discover—and create—your own unique network🎉. One that will support you today and tomorrow.

Stay for as long as you need, and move on when you’re ready. We’ll be here for you.
