30 Days to Freelance

Freelancing is an excellent way to supplement a career in creative writing and to build an audience primed to buy your book. There are countless publications and companies who are desperate for good writers and willing to pay well for those who can help them stand out. But how do you get started? This workshop will take the guesswork out of a freelance career and put bylines within reach, regardless of your level of experience. We’ll learn how to craft sellable ideas; how to write pitches that land well-paying assignments; how to carve out our own niches in industries that excites us; and how to scale writing into a sustainable living. By the end of the workshop, participants will have self-published at least one piece through platforms like Medium and Substack to establish credibility.

Open to prose writers of all levels who want to freelance as a side-gig or full-time business. This is a 4-week workshop, with a 2-hour session each week. Please prepare for approximately 2-6 hours of work between sessions, including time for your own writing.

This 4-week workshop meets on Thursdays from 6-8pm at LitArts RI on the following dates:

Thurs, Oct 1
Thurs, Oct 8
Thurs, Oct 15
