Bylines & Outlets: How to Leverage Opportunities as a Freelance Writer

For the last five years, I’ve contributed to a variety of outlets and worked with several editors to highlight the stories of people of color and all women. The benefits of being a freelance writer can be the additional income, building authority around your expertise and personal brand, opportunities to be connected with outlets without the full-staff pressures, and the ability to write what you want when you want.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to pitch story ideas to editors to get paid. Discover how to find the right media contact, how to set your pay rate, where to find freelance opportunities and what goes in the email pitch for consideration.

This workshop is for writers looking for their first paid opportunity. This is also for writers looking to diversify the outlets they currently contribute to and understand the media landscape.
