Hello Feisties!
Just wanted to let you know about a new experiment for the Feisty Freelancer - a one-day workshop! Sign up while the price is still at the early bird for $97!
Here’s my pitch:
Join us on December 1, 2023 for Feisty’s first one-day workshop, where we’ll dive into your burning questions about freelancing, from business development to writing skills to productivity. No question is too small or too dumb, and you’ll benefit from not only your feisty leader’s 20+ years of experience, but the variety of experience in the (virtual) room as we advise and brainstorm your way out of despair and into success, setting you up for an even more productive month and year ahead. This is an investment in finding out how to become more efficient, skilled and motivated in your writing. We’ll focus our day on four major topics of writing skills, business development, productivity and mindset/motivation, with general discussions on each.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to:
answer all of your burning questions about freelancing, writing and editing, and mindset to set you up for success as an independent creative
connect with a group of likeminded independents who are engaged in the same efforts as you are as a writer/editor
work through questions you may not have thought to ask in four major areas of focus: writing skills, business development, productivity and mindset/motivation
create a plan for setting aside time regularly for business planning and also how to be more productive in using that time
pitch the group on ideas you’ve been thinking about to gain feedback in a supportive environment – test out your next story ideas, market niche or editorial side hustle
Our workshop starts at 10:00 am EST and ends at 3:30 pm, with an hour for lunch breaks for snacks. We’ll meet on Zoom and work through exercises as well as group discussions.
The workshop is limited to 20 participants, so sign up soon to secure your spot!
Bonuses:
Handout with 20 top questions and answers from the forthcoming Feisty Freelancer ebook
A tipsheet of markets and job sites that provide a shortcut to find work and publications
A free 15-minute follow-up coaching session to discuss any final burning questions and next steps
