The Business of Freelancing

Researching, interviewing, writing, editing—that's just part of the job of a freelance writer. To make writing a career, you need to think about is as a business. How much income do you need to make for it to be viable? How will you invoice? What protections do you have if your invoice isn't paid or a source threatens to sue? What do contracts look like and how do you bring up concerns with what you've been sent? This class will cover the business basics of freelancing so writers better understand the questions they need to answer and address in order to be successful. It'll also help writers define what success means for them.
