As a freelancer, I work for myself and by myself. But every freelancer should have at least one network to which they can turn for advice, ideas, and camaraderie.
Below are a few journalism/writing associations that freelancers can join. I’ve been a member of most of them, and I’ve heard good things about the others.
- Society of Professional Journalists
- Online News Association
- American Association of Journalists and Authors
- Association of Health Care Journalists
- Freelance Success
- Asian American Journalists Association
- National Association of Black Journalists
- National Association of Hispanic Journalists
