Do what you do best.
Pocket Scribe was founded by freelance writers and consultants. We understand the difficulties that lie in going at it alone. We understand the desire to want to write and create, yet having to devote hours to sales, marketing, and billing (ugh…). That is why we founded Pocket Scribe, to give professional freelancers a strong brand to rally behind and to provide those professionals with meaningful work, excellent pay, benefits, flexibility and advancement opportunities. At Pocket Scribe, we manage the business elements, so you can focus on what you do best.
