Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned solopreneur, resourcefulness and relationship-building are just as essential as great writing skills when it comes to capturing freelance work. After all, sustained success relies on continually filling the pipeline with new clients and opportunities. But how can writers keep tapping into new possibilities even when the well feels dry?

Our March program presenter, Creative Groove founder Jen Jones Donatelli, is well-versed in this question, having spent 17 years as a full-time freelance writer and now working with writers and creatives as a certified coach. In this informative and engaging presentation, she’ll be sharing some of the best practices and resources that have helped her and her creative clients break into various publications, publishers and more...and build a diverse portfolio along the way. 

Come curious, leave feeling empowered and ready to dive into business development with renewed energy and enthusiasm!

Networking begins at 5:00pm, followed by the program at 6:00pm.
