MYTHS ABOUT GETTING PUBLISHED

Nobody wants to publish new writers. Not so. Every freelance writer was once a

knowledge that journalists on staff cannot.

traditionally known as distance learning. Coursework is delivered directly to
your inbox, so you can work from home or anywhere in the world, with no
face-to-face classes.

YOUR MEDIA PASS

clearly states your training as a freelance journalist and provides a useful and
important form of identification. Your pass is free.

WHAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE

Freelance writing is undeniably a lot of fun. But, it can also bring you
widespread recognition, perhaps even some fame and fortune. This is one of the
few professions that does not discriminate in any way.

Explore

OPEN THE DOOR TO A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY

independence and, at the same time, the chance to indulge your passions and flex
your creativity. What's more, you are being paid to do so!

writer. The Professional Freelance Journalism Course shows you how to handle all

opportunities to be had. However, we will concentrate on probably the most
