Hello Hubski,

This is a thread I've generated for current/aspiring/(struggling?) freelance workers. If you have a question or advice to offer to others, please add it to the thread.

Bit of background: I'm a UK based audio post and recording engineer, and have been working "alone" for about 7 years. My work has been for a mixture TV, Radio, Music, Games, Online - on high profile and hobby jobs.

I'll come back periodically when I have a titbit that I feel might be useful, rather than write a lengthy tome now.

Edit: I should add that a lot of the skills which have proved invaluable to me are not audio related, but instead form a basis for good ongoing client relations and project management.

sparrowhawk:

OK, I'm coming up on my last year of college, writing for my school's daily student newspaper, and kicking around the idea of trying to make it as a freelance writer after I graduate.

Any freelance writers out there, I'd be interested to hear how you got started in your career.
