"Freelance Success came about as a result of Monica listening to
people in creative fields and hearing that there was a real need
for skills  - not only in how to survive as
a creative freelancer, but also prosper.”
- Elaine Harris, Faculty Manager
Sydney Community College, 1999
Here’s what some of those organisations have said -

"Thanks again for speaking to the Bondi Writers' Group last Saturday Monica: you were just what the writers' group ordered! With
so many of us at least trying to make some money from writing, it was heartening to meet a person who (a) IS making money
from writing, (b) was positive about our ability to make money and (c) had such good advice about copyright and the business of
writing. I think this kind of talk is invaluable to all writing groups, and I hope that you will continue to inspire and entertain people
with all your enthusiasm and know-how."
Gabiann Marin
Degree Coordinator, SAE College Sydney Campus 2006
“The course was presented with flair, although I didn’t like the subject matter – one of my personal hang-ups. There was an
abundance of relevant material tailored to our profession, all delivered in a friendly yet informed manner. Monica made this dry
subject much more interesting.”
Participant
Sirrocco, Musica Viva
“Monica has effectively presented a version of the Freelance Success for the past two years to over 50 degree students all of
whom have responded with glowing feedback. Monica’s personable teaching style, infinite capacity to explain and illuminate
information to a wide range of people and her professional attitude made her a wonderful guest addition to our faculty. I fully
intend to continue SAE's Involvement with Monica Davidson and Freelance Success and expect to continue to see our student
appreciation of this course."
Christine Butler
President, Bondi Writers' Group
"Monica Davidson is a great seasoned speaker. Considering that NAFA has mixed interests in acting, writing and filmmaking, I
was impressed that she made her talk relevant to all creatives within our group. She certainly entertained and inspired us with
her willingness to share her insights and her down-to-earth approach to business. I especially liked her practical solutions,
drawn from her many years of experience. Many from our group benefited from her positive vibes and are interested in doing her
courses in the future."

Head of NAFA Productions
