Show Notes

If you have lingering student debt, this podcast episode is for you! Anthony Manza is a student loan consultant with the National Student Loan Forgiveness Center. Over his years as a loan consultant he has helped countless people get out from under six-figure student loan debts through the federal government's student loan forgiveness programs.

I know for many writers, like myself, we earned MFAs in Creative Writing and then have found it difficult to generate earnings from our writing that would help us pay down our student debts with ease. Many of us become public servants, teaching English or ESL in public schools or non-profit organizations. 

Since Joe Biden's election as president, a national conversation is underway about the prospect of student loan forgiveness. Some are vehemently opposed and some are strongly in favor. 

Despite what President Biden plans, there is relief out there already in existence. But there are also some predatory and deceiving aspects of student lending you should be aware of. Give this episode a full listen; Anthony provides his personal contact information if you want to inquire more about this crisis.
