Striking out on your own can be a harrowing experience, even when it’s a path you choose. If you’re thinking about going freelance, I’m hosting a free Zoom session on Monday, May 13, on everything you need to know to make it as a freelance journalist.

I’ve been a freelance journalist for more than ten years now, and I’ve been through many of the ups and downs of this business. I’ve had bylines with everyone from The Atlantic to Elle Magazine, Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, TechCrunch, The Verge, Travel & Leisure, and MANY more. I also spent more than ten years as a senior producer at CNN in New York.

I am deeply familiar with a wide variety of formats, including podcasting, broadcasting, television production, magazine writing, news journalism, features, and more. I’ve interviewed world and business leaders and everyday people and have a ton of experience in helping fellow freelancers launch and sustain their careers.

I’m not going to lie; the current environment is strange thanks to AI, media cuts, and the increasing polarization of our country, and it can feel daunting to try and navigate the freelance journalism world solo. That’s why, on Monday, May 13, at 12:00pm PT, I’m offering a FREE Zoom session for both those considering going freelance and those who are already freelance and looking for a little guidance or community.

We’ll spend an hour chatting about the future of freelance journalism and how you can set yourself up to land pitches and run a successful six-figure freelance journalism business just like mine.

I run these sessions each month, so if you can’t make tomorrow’s session there will be one coming up in June!

If you’d like to attend, sign up here, and come with your questions and concerns! I’m also happy to simply network with you and chat through any questions you might have about the future of this strange, but amazing business.

Those who attend live will get a special gift at the end of the session and get a sneak preview of my weekly Six-Figure Journalism Jobs newsletter that goes out every single week and includes calls for pitches (with editor email addresses!), pitch guides, rates and more.

All the jobs on my weekly list pay a minimum of $1 per word or more, or $100,000 per year, and are remote-friendly. If you’d like to sign up to get the weekly newsletter $5 per month gets you access. The newsletter goes out each Wednesday morning at 9 am PT.

I hope to see you at tomorrow’s Freelance 101 Session!
