Freelance writing in the 21st century: an introduction
Whether you're a budding journalist, a creative writer wanting to support your art, or an expert with a story to tell, you may find yourself in the position of pitching a story to a publication. In this workshop I will discuss the basics of developing ideas into pitches, making contacts, pitching stories and then following through with writing, editing and getting paid. I will address the changes to the freelance writing industry since my own beginnings 10 years ago and discuss future writing outlets for writers in the digital marketplace. Each participant is encouraged to bring an idea for a piece or a published piece to discuss.
