ABOUT RN2WRITER
RN2writer.com was founded by Elizabeth Hanes BSN RN in 2014 as an informational blog to help nurses learn how to be freelance writers like herself. In 2020, RN2writer added courses and coaching programs – and the brand exploded, growing from hundreds of dollars in revenue to achieving $1 million in sales within 11 months.
Today, RN2writer directly employs one staff person and contracts with an advertising agency, a sales agency, a web designer, a social media professional, and seasoned nurse writers who coach, making the company the largest of its kind in its niche.
In 2024, the parent company of RN2writer (Inkslinger Communications LLC) achieved accreditation as a provider of Continuing Nursing Education, marking a historic milestone in the company's evolution.
Throughout this rapid growth, RN2writer has remained true to its mission of “blowing health professionals' minds by introducing them to the business of freelance writing."
