This was our biggest event ever with six panelists and a moderator with a broad range of freelance skills, expertise, and experience: writers, authors, teachers, journalists, marketers, a magazine editor, a publisher, and an audio-video producer.

They gathering for a weekend workshop to show you what's in the Freelancer Starter Kit: the basics you need to get a freelance career underway and keep it going.

Whether you're thinking about a slow rollout or jumping in with both feet, someone here has been there, done that, and has either the t-shirt or the scars to prove it.
