The latest webinar with Meera Dattani is THIS WEEK! Join for just six quid and you’ll get loads of insights from a cracking panel of travel writers and freelancing pros.
In this travel writing webinar, four freelance journalists will share their hacks, tips and best-practice for making freelancing work better. ‘Time is money’ for a freelancer, so if you streamline and power up the way you work, pitch, travel, write, and manage your business, you may feel more motivated, productive and, ultimately, generate more income.
Note: Whether you attend live or not, a link to the recording and resources will be sent within a week of the live event.
