Harry is the editor of INTERNATIONAL FREELANCERS, an independent guide for people who work for themselves, which he owns and runs, covering platforms, rates, careers, remote work, tools, tax and legal questions, and running a business on WordPress. He has ten years in journalism, from reporter to editor, and most of those years have been spent covering independent work and the platforms that broker it. Platform coverage begins with the documents freelancers rarely read: the terms of service, the fee schedule, the payout timelines and the dispute rules, compared version by version when they change. Rate articles rest on published rate surveys and platform data, reported with the sample size and the year, so a median is never passed off as a going rate. Tax and legal pieces cite the rules of the relevant authority and say plainly when the answer depends on where the freelancer is based. Tools are tested on real client work before they are recommended. Numbers are checked before anything is published, and a public corrections policy applies. Freelancers can write to him at support@internationalfreelancersday.com.
