WORKSHOP | $15 | ALL AGES | Ever been nosy for free? Learn how to get paid for it!
In this workshop, journalist Ari Saperstein will walk you through the basics of freelance journalism from finding story ideas to pitching editors to actually reporting and writing your piece.
No experience necessary, just a curiosity for real people and true stories. You’ll leave with a working pitch and next steps for editors & outlets to pitch.
This is a crash course in freelance journalism: how to shape an idea, pitch it, report it, and get your work out into the world. Whether you want to write about your community, your obsession, or the injustice that’s making you mad, this space is for you.
Led by Ari Saperstein (he/him), a queer multimedia journalist who’s worked with This American Life, The New York Times, and LAist. This workshop is open to anyone. No gatekeeping. No jargon. Just good stories.
(NOTE: If you sign-up, we’ll send you a tiny pre-workshop vibe check (aka 15 mins of light prep) to get your gears turning ❤️)
