NUJ Freelance Writers Forum
On Monday 24th September Writing.ie contributor Catherine Ryan Howard will be at National Union of Journalists’ Freelance Forum in Dublin. To attend the entire day is €10 for members and €20 for non-members (using the discount code on this page), and there’s some great events scheduled. It’s a great opportunity for writers who are just embarking on their freelance careers to come along and perhaps meet those who have managed to make a living from it, and perhaps learn something too—there’s sessions on self-publishing, pitching and making the most of online opportunities.
The schedule includes:
