As a writer, photographer, graphic artist, public relations consultant or other creative professional, freelancing can be a fun and profitable venture; however, freelancing is not for the faint of heart. The media world is in a constant state of flux with the rules and players changing every day – or at least it often seems that way!

On Wednesday, November 14, Delaware Press Association will host an informative and interactive panel discussion on working as a freelancer in our local market. You will learn from those who hire freelancers and also from experienced freelancers in a number of communications fields with many years of experience working in the business.

Panelists include:

  • Dr. Maria Hess, Moderator, Editor-in-Chief, Delaware Today
  • Tom Byrne, News Director, WDDE 91.1 FM Delaware First Media
  •  Amy Cherry, Assistant News Director, 1150 AM WDEL Delmarva Broadcasting
  • Mark Fowser, News Director, Delaware 105.9 FM Delmarva Broadcasting
  • Karen Galanaugh, APR , Senior PR Counselor/Screenwriter, Galanaugh & Company, LLC
  • Pam George, Master Freelance Writer
  • Bob Yearick, Freelance Writer/Editor; Contributing Editor, Out & About Magazine 

Our panelists will address some of the salient issues in freelancing:

  • How do you “get your foot in the door” and gain exposure for your work as a new freelancer?
  • How can you, as an experienced professional, continue to build your client list and portfolio?
  • How do you craft a successful pitch to a media outlet?
  • What are those who make the hiring decisions looking for in a freelancer? How can you get on their “go-to” list of freelancers?
  • What are the best places to network, online and offline?
  • And much more.  

Join DPA members and colleagues at Woodlawn Public Library for networking and light refreshments at 6:30 p.m. and for the program on Freelancing Today at 7 p.m. The meeting is free and open to the public. Please let us know by November 12 if you’ll be coming. Guests are welcome.
