This is a trailer for a new show called The Free Lancer.

The Free Lancer is a show discussing all things publishing through a queer, social justice lens. It’s for authors and editors navigating the industry in a heart-centered way—one that prioritizes care, relationship-building, and sustainable work practices over the relentless grind of capitalism, tech-bro culture, and AI promises. It explores how author and editor businesses can survive and thrive while also transforming the industry to fight for a better world.
