Breaking Into Freelance Writing.
This workshop is designed for people who want to participate in the public conversation by contributing to print and online publications. We will discuss how to develop your ideas, what it takes to get editors to respond, and whether or not you should write for free, among other things. We'll also discuss what happens after you get the nod from a publication, with an overview of contracts, money, deadlines, and, of course, what it takes to actually write a great article. Workshop will be interactive. Whether or not you arrive with any clear idea of what you want to write about, you will leave with several article queries that are exciting to you and ready to submit to editors. You'll also leave with a lot of resources to tap into as you navigate the freelance world. Please bring writing materials and a copy or two of a publication that you'd like to write for someday..
