Copy Over Coffee: A Freelance Comeback Blog

Copy Over Coffee is my personal and professional blog where I document the journey of rebuilding my freelance business after a break. As someone with over 20 years of experience in writing, web design, and client work, I created this space to be equal parts portfolio, content hub, and candid journal. The blog reflects my commitment to honest storytelling, real advice, and the messy, rewarding process of working for yourself.

I designed and built the site from scratch using WordPress and the Divi theme, customizing everything from layout to color palette to logo. I wrote all the copy, configured the backend, optimized for SEO, and set up MailerLite for email capture. The blog features articles about freelancing, pricing your work, finding good clients, and using tools like AI to streamline content creation. It’s designed to feel personal, practical, and warm—like a conversation over coffee, not a corporate pitch.
