Going Pro: The Business of Professional Freelance Writing - American Society of Journalists and Authors

Recent highlights:

1. In ASJA, a professional writer is someone who has demonstrated their writing chops—through national clips, contracts with well-known brands or established content marketing companies, book contracts, or published manuscripts.

2. Plenty of journalists, authors, and entrepreneurs are exceptions to this rule, of course, but for every one of those writers, there are thousands who are working steadily at their computers, in sweats or business casual, to provide editors, clients, and ultimately, readers with words that express important ideas.

3. As the voice of independent writers, ASJA is intent on spreading the good word and helping emerging writers gain a foothold in the freelancing landscape
