Are you ready to leap into freelance? Going freelance is a risky but
rewarding move. It depends on how you work to achieve
something with much worth.
On September 20 and 21, PinoyWriters will
conduct a two-day weekend workshop on Freelance Writing: Pursuing a
Persistent, Profitable Passion.
Since 2000 PinoyWriters have run writing
workshops that aim to help Filipino writers thrive and survive in
the world of weaving words. With its thousand and plus members—it
saw the need to address the growing needs of writers, particularly
those who still continue to fight to have a fulfilling and at the
same time have a money-making write life.
Topics include: “Writing is a Gift,”
“Write Right Now,” “Writers’ Radical Marketing Mindset,”
“How Much are You Worth” and “Writing is all about Building
Relationships.”
The P3,000 fee includes handouts, workshop kits
and food. The first 10 registrants on or before August 29 will enjoy
a discounted fee of P2400, while a PinoyWriter member gets to enjoy
a 20-percent off from its base fee. The workshop only accommodates
30 participants.
The workshop is open for writers who seriously
will pursue freelance writing as a profession.
“We at PinoyWriters want to hone not just the
writing skills, but the mindset too,” Jude Cartalaba, the
Marketing Head for PinoyWriters explains. He adds, “We do not want
to see writers just wait for opportunities much as it pains us to
see those who grumble without even making any effort.”
In the age citizen journalism, blogs, e-zines
and indie digital films, the workshop is even more relevant.
Technology is democratizing the craft. Now more than ever, timeless
literary skills, artistry, ethics and business savvy must be
learned. Cartalaba expounds, “Today, there are a lot of venues to
write. It’s not just limited to print, movies, television, and
radio. The Internet is one vast venue to create opportunities with.
If you are an observant individual, which a writer must be, then you
will never run out of opportunities.”
