Training alert - copywriting course

LONDON FREELANCE Branch in association with NUJ Professional Training is proud to present its latest training course - "Copywriting for journalists: looking at new ways of making money". As a copywriter who came to talk at a recent LFB meeting told us (see www.londonfreelance.org/fl/1710cw.html), copywriters seem to be paid better and earlier and treated better than most journos, so it's an avenue of work well worth looking into.

The LFB/NUJ copywriting course is on Friday 2 February 2018 at the NUJ, 72 Acton Street, London WC1X 9NB, from 10am to 5.30pm (map). It costs NUJ members just £49, which includes lunch.

Topics covered include: what is copywriting; who hires copywriters; how to find clients; finding your unique selling point; pricing; getting paid; and "common mistakes to avoid". The tutor, Eleanor Goold, is chief copywriter of Kreativ Copywriting. To book, see www.nuj.org.uk/events/copywriting-for-journalists-looking-at-new-ways-of-making-money
