Next April may seem like a long way off but not when you're planning a conference! ASJA 2021's co-chairs and committee are soliciting proposals for sessions and workshops at our annual conference (April 18-19, 2021). Safety is our number-one concern, so we are planning for a virtual conference and will pivot to a live conference (at the New York Marriott Downtown in New York City) in the (unlikely) event it feels safe. Have an idea for a session or workshop? Please fill out this form by Oct.1, 2020. Decisions about acceptances will be made by early December. We are especially interested in submissions that promote diversity and are interactive. Questions? Contact ASJA 2021 co-chair Kristine Hansen at kristinehansenwriter@gmail.com.

I’ve been helping authors to write books for over 15 years. This has given me incredible access to some of the world’s top non-fiction authors, like Jack Canfield.

Freelancers have more control over their income, but what are the levels of pay across the freelance sector? Will COVID-19 have an impact and, what does the future hold for freelance income?
