Format
90-minute masterclass with Q&A
How do you ask your editor for more money? Is it better to be a generalist or make a niche? What are good ways to generate new story ideas? These are just some of the questions that Omar Mouallem is asked often as a career-long independent writer and journalist. Join him on Zoom, as he covers lessons in financial management, work-flow, breaking into new markets, and shares unique skills gained from 17 years of freelancing for outlets with far-ranging audiences, styles and, yes, pay rates.
Omar will also answer any questions about your freelance hustle and his upcoming six-week course The Business of Freelance Writing.
