Beyond newsstands: how to expand your freelance business through niche publications

webcast

There is a whole world of potential clients for freelancers to tap beyond newspapers, general interest science and health magazines, women’s magazines and other traditional consumer publications. Trade groups publish magazines for members, companies for customers and universities for alums. Media conglomerates may have a stable of specialized publications targeting various professional groups.

Many are looking for talented freelance writers to fill out the pages, whether digital or print. In this AHCJ webinar, freelance members will learn where to find niche publications and the pros and cons of working for them. They will get advice on pitching and introducing themselves to editors. They’ll learn about potential conflicts of interest if writing for both niche and consumer publications. And they will be able to ask questions of the panelists, two editors and one freelancer who earns six figures by including non-consumer publications among her clients.

Why Sex Matters: Sex differences in COVID and beyond

webcast

COVID-19 has, in many ways, been a different pandemic for men and women. Men are more likely to develop severe disease, while women more often endure long-haul symptoms. Cases of myocarditis have occurred primarily in young men after vaccination while women have greater stroke risk. COVID also triggers different stress-related mental health challenges. This webinar explores how biological sex shapes our immune response, how gender affects the way we experience stress—and how COVID focuses attention on the longstanding need to understand how sex and gender affect health and disease.
