What Students Say About Maya Payne Smart

“Maya's seminars and coaching sessions take a clear-headed, organized and positive approach to the business of freelancing. As a speaker, she sets out her agenda and keeps the session moving at a good pace, making sure her listeners are with her every step of the way. Her talk was chock-full of tips, both in the form of advice gleaned from her personal experience, and in the wealth of organization names, website addresses and book titles which she shared as sources for further learning.

I was impressed with her positive attitude, particularly her conviction that each of us could make a living from freelancing if we only channel our talents and our efforts in the right direction. Maya speaks from experience - so when she says it can be done, I know this is not idle pep talk. I left not only informed but inspired to go out there and show editors what I can do for them.”

--Tamar Wilner, freelance journalist specializing in energy, environment and urban development
