Season 5!
Hey everyone,
As we dive into season 5, we’ll be interspersing old episodes with new content!
In our first re-run, we address the question we get asked most frequently by aspiring and full-time freelance writers alike: How and where do you find good freelance writing assignments? We’ll share our favorite methods for finding work, tips and tricks for cold pitching, how to network in a non-sleazy way, why it's necessary to maintain good relationships with staff editors, how to use full-time job boards to find freelance work, and why shameless self promotion is an absolute must-- especially when you find yourself with time ahead and no work on the calendar, or when money is tight.
Listen on Spotify, Stitcher, iTunes, or wherever you podcast – and don’t forget to leave us a review!
