The first thing I noticed about the Dublin Writers Museum was the lack of a possessive apostrophe in “Writers.” But perhaps that’s by design; the museum doesn’t belong to Dublin writers; it’s about Dublin writers; including four Nobel Prize winners. Having stumbled upon the museum by looking through a tourist brochure, I was immediately intrigued. Imagine that, a museum that actually honors writers and writing!

I support ASJA because it has helped me build my career as a freelance writer more than any other organization. I got magazine assignments, found my literary agent, sold books, and have met wonderful people who are essential for me to know — all through the resources of ASJA.

Being a freelancer means facing a number of challenges that salaried workers need not contend with. When you work for yourself, you don't have the security of a steady, predictable paycheck. Rather, your income might fluctuate substantially from month to month, making it difficult to budget on a monthly basis and meet financial obligations. Freelancers also don't get workplace benefits like paid time off, health insurance, and other things salaried employees are privy to. And then there's the whole lack of job security that makes so many people shy away from freelancing.

Wayne Calloway, the PepsiCo CEO who led much of its explosive growth in the 1980s used to say about change, “The best time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining.”
