RSVP to our live webinar on Monday, March 9th at 4:00 pm.
Freelancers Union and General Assembly will be hosting a live webinar to help you get started on your freelance career. Marc Scheff – an artist, art director, educator, entrepreneur, and Hives leader based out of Brooklyn, NY will join Freelancers Union in the webinar.
In "Freelancing 101: 6 Things No One Tells You About Getting Started," we’ll kick it off by discussing a few topics that we’ve heard from you. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify your brand, assess your strengths, and optimize your portfolio
- Understand your client base and obtain your first clients
- Decide what to charge and how to handle your money
- Market yourself and effectively network
- Follow your passion and stay sane doing it
From there, we’ll be giving you an opportunity to ask your questions in a live Q&A with Marc.
Join us for an in-person Spark event on Wednesday, March 11! In cities across America, hundreds of freelancers will learn essential tax tips & meet cool people. Find a Spark event near you.

Radio Campfire, Detroit – Call for stories, deadline March 6
I'm thrilled to announce that members of the Detroit-area audio group I'm involved in, the Smitten Mitten Audio Collective, have started doing a quarterly listening event for which we are seeking your submissions. We kicked things off last month in Ann Arbor to a packed house. Details on what we're looking for and how you can submit are below…
Radio Campfire is an event series for creative audio stories. We gather round to listen, imagine and enjoy an evening of memorable radio documentaries, soundscapes and experimental sonic shorts. Think relaxed, magical and intimate, like the campfire (minus the burnt marshmallows.)
What we're looking for:
~ 2-8 minute pieces you might have related to our theme.
~ 2-8 minute pieces you've heard from other producers that might relate to our theme.
~ 1 minute audio super-shorts related to the theme. (A good excuse to get into the audio sandbox & make something new!)
Deadline: 11:59 pm on March 6th
How to Submit: Send an mp3 to radiocampfire.submissions@gmail.com with the following text copied and filled out in the body of your email:
Producer name
Producer phone number
File name of attached piece
We will contact you by March 16th to let you know whether your work has been selected.
Radio Campfire is a labor of audio love. We can't compensate you financially, but selected works will be promoted through our press, social media outlets, and included on our online program archive.
Questions? Send an email to laura.e.herberg@gmail.com.
Radio Campfire is curated and hosted by a small group of radio producers and audio artists in Southeast Michigan. Radio Campfire Counselors include Shannon Cason, Renee Gross, Laura Herberg, Juliet Hinely, Kyle Norris, Zak Rosen, and Stephanie Rowden.
