Writing Freelance or Storytelling for a Dollar a Word

Marcello Di Cintio
Writers Studio

Marcello Di Cintio loves writing for magazines. He also hates writing for magazines. This is because, says Marcello, magazine writing is equal parts an art and a business. In this master class, Marcello offers an insider view of the freelancing life, discusses his own experience in the genre, and reveals the secrets of pitching to magazines, researching effectively, and crafting engaging stories, as well as tips for enduring the frustrations of deadlines, word-counts, and unresponsive editors. Come prepared with a story idea to pitch.

General admission: $30.00/$35.00 onsite
Limited enrolment.
