Getting started as a freelance - Bristol session

This came in today - it's from the Bristol branch, but if anyone's interested we could either ask if we can send a Brighton contingent, or set up a similar event for Brighton. Anyone up for it?

>>> SPECIAL EVENT

In view of the fact that so many members have left the Post and Press in the last few months, NUJ Bristol Branch are putting on a special one-hour session about freelance working.

Everyone's welcome. Whether you've been freelance for years, months or just days, or even if you're not freelance but think one day you might be, do come along - the NUJ can do a lot to help you, and this will be a useful info session to get started!

If you know of colleagues who have recently left and might not yet be connected to this list from home, please be kind, spread the word and let them know. Thanks!

GETTING STARTED AS A FREELANCE

WEDNESDAY 15 MARCH
CAFE HALO, 141 GLOUCESTER ROAD, 7.00 P.M.

Thinking of going freelance?
Not sure of the ins and outs – how to set up in business, how to get contacts, what to do next?

NUJ Bristol Branch are holding a one-hour session to get you started. We will take a look at a few key matters across all sectors: where to get information, how to register for tax, how to build a client base, suggestions for marketing yourself, and the outlook for freelancing in the industry now.

We’ll also be joined by some experienced freelances who will be able to explain what they do and how, and answer questions.

There’s a nice bar and everyone’s welcome to stay and chat for as long as it’s open. So do come on down to Halo on Wednesday and see what the NUJ can do for you as a freelance in a tough world.
