Littlebird tracks every pitch, deadline, and invoice across your publications -- so the writing gets the hours and the admin gets minutes.
Freelancing is two jobs: the writing and the business of writing. Pitches out to six editors, three deadlines in flight, two invoices aging past 30 days, and a source from last month's story who just emailed back. The admin expands to fill whatever the writing does not use.
Littlebird keeps the business organized while you write. What each editor likes, what you pitched where, which invoice needs a nudge, and the research trail behind every story in progress. The second job shrinks back to its proper size.
<p>What you pitched, to whom, and when -- plus what each editor tends to buy. Follow-ups go out on schedule, not on memory.</p>
<p>Reports, interviews, and notes linked per assignment. A fact-check question months later gets an answer, not a panic.</p>
<p>What is due, what is filed, and who owes you money. The aging invoice gets chased the day it turns, not the month after.</p>
<p>Story pitches built from the reporting you already did, tailored per publication. More pitches out, better hit rate.</p>
