Update: the new date for this course is Friday 9 February.
I will be delivering First steps in freelancing, a new one-day training course, at the National Union of Journalists in London. It aims to provide those who are just about to or just have moved to freelance journalism with what they need to know to get started successfully.
The course will include:
- Turning your first commission into your first payment;
- The first things you need to know about managing your freelance business in planning, money, tax, legal issues, copyright, licensing, pitching and negotiating;
- The basics on taking care of your health, setting up an office, IT, marketing and pensions;
- Ways to develop your freelance business when it is up and running.
It costs £60 for NUJ members, £50 for student members and £110 for non-members. More information and booking via the NUJ.
