Freelance Coaching
Hone your skills in pitching, networking, promoting, writing, and more.
Service Description
Whether you're brand new to the game, struggling, or coming back to it after doing something else, freelance writing is not for the faint of heart — and I can help! I've been at this since ::checks watch:: the dawn of time. How do you find ideas for stories? How do you know they're STORIES and not just thoughts, or questions without answers — and how do you answer those questions to solve that problem? How do you write a successful pitch? How do you connect with editors, as well as interviewees? How do you plan a story's scope, from finding sources to final edits and everything in between? How can you promote yourself? I can provide you with essentials, I can answer your questions, and I can look over your pitches. * I am eager to help underrepresented voices enter the freelance journalism space and succeed. If you are interested in these sessions but need to negotiate the fee down, just reach out to me — we will make it work for you!
