Whether you on staff at a publication or are currently an independent journalist, it pays to know more about business. The AHCJ Chicago chapter is holding a class Nov. 11 event about freelancing. We welcome everyone: staff writers and independents. It’s your chance to test the waters and ask questions if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to freelance. Come for the camaraderie and networking. Share tips with others covering the health beat.
Successful freelance writers are more than just good writers – they are good business people. They know the mechanics of running a business from managing finances to maintaining work-life balance. Join us for a panel discussion in which two experienced health freelancers and an accountant will share tips on successfully managing a freelance business:
-
Jenni Prokopy, independent writer, social media strategist, motivational speaker, and consultant
-
Cindy Kuzma, freelance health and fitness writer, and running coach
-
Debbie Conaster, CPA and financial advisor at Computer Accounting
-
Bridget Kuehn, freelance writer and strategist (moderator)
