Australian freelance writers and authors - as I write in Look-It's Your Book! - you're missing out if you're not signed up for ELR, PLR and CAL.

In that vein, here's a great piece by @ViviennePearson with the nuts and bolts of how to sign up for Copyright payments (CAL) so you are compensated for your work being copied by schools/uni's, government and businesses.

'Freelance Christmas' is always great to look forward to so have a read!

Ok, serious question time for #editors out there:

Is there any call for #pitches I’m unaware of?

My main area of expertise is cinema. Any heads up would be incredibly appreciated.

She/Her

Was offered a project whose fee per article is half my base rate. The client informed me they can't increase the fee anymore because their client is a friend of the management, hence the "friendly" rate.

I don't feel bad for this lost opportunity. To begin with, I'm not a friend of client's client. Second, I know my worth (and the worth of basic commodities these days).

Also, friends shouldn't shortchange each other.

I heard back from a website I applied to write for, and they requested a writing sample. If I get the job, I’ll get to write about movies and TV shows, which is great for me as I’m trying to diversify my portfolio.

Pay isn’t stellar, but it’s enough to replace one of my lower-paying gigs. #freelancewriter #freelancer #writer

You never know what will come up when you're a #FreelanceWriter. Today, I had to Google for the last name of Dorothy (as in Oz)...but then decided my "Dorothy" reference was enough. If the editor asks for more, though, it's 'Gale.'

I'm starting next month down two clients whose retainers made up half of my income, reasons are not of my doing.) This #freelancewriter and #journalist I'm desperately looking for #editorial, #content, #journalism work. I'm an expert on #architecture, #art, #culture and #texas. I've written for mainstream daily newspapers, trade journals, alt weeklies, magazines, nonprofits, college alumni magazines and websites and more. Clips in profile. Please RT and reach out.

Interview tip for content marketers:

Listen to what they say vs. watch them while you talk.

Attended an information-gathering call this week where the interviewer spoke more than the subject expert.

Does this lead to better content? Probably not.

Definitely meant a less open conversation, fewer deep-dives & more follow-up.
