Steve–
I just learned that No Train, No gain–is “dead” and was wondering if the material has moved somewhere else . . .
I originally found out about the resource from Maggy Dumas at the Cedar Rapids Gazette–I’m a freelance writer there. I have been using the website in my Journalism Workshop class that I teach at Coe College.
I am very sorry that it’s no longer available –it was a great resource for us. The students found the information very useful, and they like the up-to-date material and the fact that it’s NOT a textbook, but the same training actual journalists get. It sure would be great if the material was available elsewhere! Let me know if it is!

Hi Steve;
I have been writing as a freelance writer since 2002. After a decade + of this, I find that my writing is not earning the industry norms and I am well below underpaid 😦 And recently I read that freelance writing is ‘dead’… What do you think? Dead? Any advice on how I can increase my writing gigs AND get the pay I deserve?
Thanks!
Respectfully;
–Tami

Tami, I don’t think freelance writing is dead, but it certainly has been disrupted. I am not expert enough on this topic to offer much advice, though. Certainly supply, demand and value guide business and pricing in any marketplace. You need to provide content that is not readily available from free and/or cheap sources, and content that will have value to potential media customers (or non-media businesses that are starting to provide journalism about their fields of interest and expertise). If I were freelancing, I would certainly be offering multimedia packages, not just writing. Self-publishing is also an option for the freelancer: publishing books or a blog, supported by ads from your own sales or an ad network and/or by affiliate marketing. Not saying either of those are easy pursuits, but writers are making a living at both. Like every part of journalism, freelance writers need to adjust in the face of disruption. Good luck!
