Why freelance?
Why should you freelance? It is about having more free time or just doing what you want? While both may be true, we will look at the pros and cons and the myths and realities of freelance writing as a career.
Opportunities
Freelancing is and can be a viable and sustainable career. We will look at the various writing opportunities, how to capitalize on them and maximize them as diversified earning potentials.
Marketing Yourself
Your byline is your brand.  Just like any brand you need to market yourself, create your portfolio, and create a positive image for yourself as a writer.
Practical Side of the Business
In this crash course of Jumpstart Your Freelance Writing Career, we will include a portion on the practical side of becoming a creative entrepreneur.

First, you have to know how to write a pitch  A pitch to a writer is what an audition is to an actor—it’s a potential job that can lead to other potential jobs. Our pitching session–which has nothing to do with baseball–will clue you in on what editors are looking for and how to pique their interest.
