Resources for Freelancers

As freelancers, sometimes it's difficult to locate all the possible resources available to help you develop your specific area of expertise. For journalists who have gone out of their own, the Society for Professional Journalists has a committee dedicated to freelance journalists. In fact, freelance writer, Amy Green, was recently appointed Chair of the committee - whose role is to be an advocate for freelance journalism. One of the benefits of the organization is that it posts legitimate writing gigs for journalists. About.com's guide to freelance writing also has a great list of resources for freelance writing jobs.
