Summers are almost always slow. Yes, you’ll get the occasional commenter on here humble bragging that they’re always booked solid but June through August is usually very slow for most freelancers. Both pharma and general market. Especially general market.
We are swamped every summer….

I find that it picks up after July. Lots of launches and work to get done before end of year. Usually last through October
It can be slow because of vacation on the client and agency side but there's still launch etc work out there. Fourth quarter is the busiest time
I barely see my own coworkers or our clients these days due to all the vacations. August onward should be crazy.
