Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this journalism course:

You have so many stories inside of you, and you are burning to tell them. But how do you get from inspiration to publication? In this Los Angeles Freelance Journalism Class, successful journalist Nicole Pajer (NY Times, Rolling Stone) will take you through the paces of the freelance life.

You’ll learn how to pitch to editors, keep your pile of ideas fresh, and work with your sources. Nicole will cover the mechanics of being a professional freelancer: how much to charge, time management, where to pitch your ideas, and how to avoid the rookie mistakes. You’ll get to pitch an idea to Nicole, find out which publications to target and how to approach them. By the end of the class, you’ll have everything you need to set up a writing practice focused entirely on freelancing writing. It won’t be long before you’re sipping a cup of hot coffee and typing up your next great article for the New York Times. You’ll be well on your way to joining the ranks of the 250 Writing Pad Alums (37 of whom got into the NY Times) who have sold essays and articles with Writing Pad’s help!
