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.

 

This 90-minute live lecture is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis via Zoom, with a suggested contribution of $20 CAD. A recording will be available for up to six months to those who contribute $20 or more.
