How to crack freelance journalism (& the finances) - with Isabel Woodford
Details
When I went freelance, I wanted someone I trusted to tell me exactly how they’d done it. I didn’t want vague blogs. So that’s what I’m doing.
I'm Isabel Woodford; a former Reuters reporter, and now freelancer - featured in The Atlantic, The FT, The Times, The Guardian, The Observer, and more.
Join me for my in-person, freelancing Masterclass (RSVP here to gurantee your spot). This is targeted at journalists thinking about going solo, or those who've recently made the jump.
If you've ever wondered how your peers got their bylines, what they earn ($), and how they've built their careers outside of a newsroom, this is for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Join me for a candid, off-the-record discussion on tackling freelance life. I'll be sharing a practical framework for how to build a successful career, as well as discussing the raw truths about tackling the industry. That includes money chat!
This is intentionally not another webinar; it's an in-person event to meet real people, and to be part of a live conversation.
Special guests: I'll be joined by top commissioning editors, with experience at the Boston Globe, New Scientist, and Bloomberg.
We'll be discussing:
- The 'open secret' of freelance journalism
- Building a financial roadmap
- How to pitch (and land) major publications
- How to think long-term

EVENT DETAILS
Schedule: Doors open at 7pm, and final entry will be at 7.25pm - just before the fireside chat begins. We'll be wrapped up by 8.30pm.
Spaces are extremely limited. Please note, there is unfortunately no wheelchair access to the venue.
We can't wait to see you!
