Deborah Ng started the blog five years ago, but recently sold the site to Splashpress Media for an undisclosed amount.
The online network provides a space for freelancers to access job leads, tips and advice within a blogging community.
Deborah will stay on at the site for three months in a consultancy role but the site will officially change hands on 1 July.
Writing on the announcement page of the site she said it all started as a hobby.
"For me, it was a relaxing way to enjoy my first cup of coffee," she wrote.
"FWJ surprised me by becoming a popular resource for freelance writers. It won awards and accolades and reached the top of the search engines. I worked hard at creating a helpful community for freelance writers, and the freelance writing community responded in kind. I don’t know that I ever meant for FWJ to become a full time job, but it did."
After deciding to sell the site for reasons not yet disclosing, Ng received a number of bids, choosing to make a deal with Splashpress Media which runs a network of blogs and new media applications.
"When I decided to sell FWJ I received a half dozen offers and the one from Splashpress Media wasn’t the highest," she said. "However, in selling I had three concerns and Splashpress was the only potential buyer who addressed these three concerns and promised FWJ wouldn’t languish or lose the message and image we worked so hard to maintain throughout the past five years."
As part of the deal, Splashpress has agreed to allow most of the current FWJ bloggers to keep up their blogs, whilst others will move on with the founder.
Deborah is currently writing two books and is involved in several other blogging projects, as well as keeping up a role as Conference Director for BlogWorld Expo.
