Week 2: Writing to a Brief
All you need to know about applying for writing work and assignments, and asking the questions that allow you to find freedom rather than pressure in your deadlines.

Week 4: Contacts, Connections and Creativity
Reflect on what you’ve discovered about what a healthy, happy freelance life looks like for you, and hone the processes, questions and habits that will keep it growing.
