Every week, another friend or stranger asks me how they can start freelancing. I’ve shared tips and edited pitches, and compiled all my best ideas into one easy guide, which is now available in PDF form.
This 13-page guide explains the basic steps involved in getting comfortable pitching, researching, and writing stories as a freelancer. It focuses on writing essays, stories, articles, or other nonfiction pieces for publications, though some of the lessons will be transferable to other kinds of freelance writing.
Contents:
1. how to write a pitch
2. how to leverage connections
3. how to cold call an editor
4. where to get the basic skills you need
5. how to get comfortable with your own writing
6. how to ask for more time, money, or help
This guide is available on a PWYC sliding scale.
