Why subscribe to Freelancing from a Field?

Hi, I’m Hannah and in March 2024 I took the scary decision of leaving my job as a producer at the BBC to set up my own audio production company called Read the Room Productions. I don’t live in any of the major cities, in fact I live in a house, in the middle of a sheep field on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains.

On the last day of every month I’m going to write about 5 things that have helped me earn a living (or keep sane whilst earning a living!) as a freelance audio producer living in a remote, rural community in Wales.

I hope it will be of interest to all freelancers, small business owners, career pivoters and to anyone thinking of taking a similar leap, especially if you also live in the middle of nowhere!

Themes may include but are not limited to:

Connection | Creativity | Productivity | Planning | Motivation | Books | Podcasts and Radio | TV and Film | Music | Finance | Loneliness | Isolation | Gardening | Wellness | Fitness | Social Media | The day to day of freelancing / running your own business

Subscribe and won’t have to worry about missing anything. On the last day of every month the new edition of the newsletter will go directly to your inbox.
