“The generosity of ASJA members is unparalleled. I have received advice on story placement, ideas and editors, learned about industry news, advocated for my rights successfully in a class action lawsuit, and welcomed the efforts of volunteers to create outstanding programs. I have asked for bigger fees, and received them, thanks to ASJA members. The connections I have made, and continue to make, are invaluable.”

The Writer
A few years ago, I was meeting with the new editor of Saveur in his New York City office discussing possible assignments. He had just moved up to the top position, and, although I was a regular contributor to the publication, I had never worked with him before. In discussing our mutual rural experiences, an idea popped up almost out of nowhere: a large Thanksgiving spread with photos about a modern farm family who still held on to many traditional practices.

Before I co-founded my content marketing company, Masthead Media, I spent a few years earning a living as a freelance journalist. There are a few things I miss from that time (reporting trips to tropical locations among them!) but one thing I was thrilled to give up: tons of paperwork!

As a creative freelancer, you will find yourself having to contract your work out to a variety of parties, who may have their own publishing agreement to present to you or who may rely on you to provide the agreement. These agreements can work to your advantage, but only if you understand what rights you have in your content, and what you are willing to concede in negotiations.
