Getting started as a freelance writer is more than watching a few YouTube videos and hooking up your laptop. In this class, you’ll learn how to pitch stories, how to write a pitch letter, and how to manage the business of writing. At the end of the class, you’ll have not only a pitch letter to use as a template, but a portfolio, a cover letter, a sample story, and an idea of where to pitch to as well.
This class is suitable for beginning and intermediate levels.
