Santy Gutierrez FREELANCE WRITING CAREER : How to Define Your Writing Services, FREELANCE WRITING CAREER : How to Define Your Writing Services, Your Market, Your Business -- and most importantly -- Your Future! by Brian Scott A decade ago I listened to a famous writer speak about how to succeed as a freelance writer. His statement sums up why many new freelance writers give up too soon: they don’t focus clearly on what they want. A popular question in the business world is: Do we fail to plan or plan to fail? If having a business plan is important to survive and thrive as a freelance writer, why do so many writers refuse to create one? Freelance writing as a career is not a hobby and it’s not a get-rich-quick business. But, to have a sound, profitable writing business, you must start with a plan. What it takes to plan your business is some time each day. Now is the time to begin your business plan. Before we begin to design your writing business, we must first define the most important element of success: yourself. DEFINE YOURSELF: Who are you? They are:

Writers' Guild of Great Britain | WGGB Como presentar un portfolio Hace unas semanas charlando con varios compañeros de profesión surgió el debate de cómo presentar tu trabajo a un editor y destacarlo para que te recuerde. A mi me parece un tema complicado porque dado que casi siempre he trabajado en publicidad y diseño, muy pocas veces he tenido que presentarme ante un editor, solamente ante directores artísticos. Sin embargo, durante todo este pasado año en que participé en algunos talleres de ilustración y asistí a eventos como el Curso Internacional de Albarracín o el Ilustratour, he podido acumular experiencias y también he descubierto que muy poca gente habla sobre esto en internet, que engeneral los ilustradores vamos a saco con todo lo que tenemos y hay pocas referencias de como es un portfolio de ilustración en concreto. Por eso me gustaría compartir el sistema que utilicé hace un par de meses para presentarme a los editores en el Salón du Livre de Saint Dennis y que sigo utilizando. Este es mi portfolio hoy en día.
Scott's Mumbles 8 Must-Have Traits of Tomorrow's Journalist As the news industry looks to reconstruct its suffering business model, the journalists of today must reconstruct their skill sets for the growing world of online media. Because of cutbacks at many news organizations, the jobs available are highly competitive. News companies are seeking journalists who are jacks of all trades, yet still masters of one (or more). 2010 will likely be a time of transition as today's journalists catch up to learn the multimedia, programming, social media, and business skills they'll need to tell their stories online. These new skills are especially relevant to startups that are looking to hire multi-skilled and social media-savvy journalists. Below we've gathered some skills that are quickly becoming basic requirements for the journalist of tomorrow. 1. As the foundation of the longstanding business model crumbles, both new and experienced journalists are becoming entrepreneurial and starting their own publications. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
