Freelancers make up one of the fastest-growing groups of workers in North America. But, in today's fractured and quick-paced media industry, where do you start? This book is a guide for journalism students, recent graduates, and early-career journalists looking to better understand both the creative and business sides of freelance work in Canada and the US. Learn how to develop your personal brand, how to pitch to different types of publications and media outlets, and how to plan for your financial future as a freelancer (yes, it's possible!). Practical and easy to read, The New Journalist's Guide combines more than a decade of the author's personal experience as a freelance journalist with the perspectives of freelancers and experts across Canada and the US in a range of fields.
