Get tips on the freelance trade at July 16 Freelance Soiree in Truman Lounge

Need help getting started freelancing? Want to network with other freelancers? Looking for tips on how to find the best markets, negotiate a contract, set rates and promote your brand?

You’ll find that and more at a new series of casual get-togethers sponsored by the National Press Club's Freelance Committee. These occasional soirees are informal discussions of various topics of interest to freelancers. Some of the topics are geared to those just starting out. Others address the needs of experienced freelancers. Whatever the topic, these meetings are great opportunities to relax with a drink and network with fellow freelance members.

Our next soiree is Wednesday, July 16, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in the Truman Lounge. The topic is marketing. How do we identify the right markets and then promote ourselves to those markets?

Drop in for food and drinks, discussion and camaraderie. No RSVP necessary. Just show up! For more information or to suggest future topics, e-mail NPC Freelance Committee Chair Tam Harbert at [email protected].
