Come hang with us this May — two live events incoming!
Real talk on freelance earnings + a wildly fun writing workshop.
Two new live events at the Freelance Writing Network!
We’re thrilled to announce two new live events coming at you this May, and they couldn’t be more different from each other!
Our first, on May 11th, digs into the financial reality of a freelance journalism career with Isabel Woodford.
The other, a writing workshop on May 21st with Tawny Lara, invites you to slow down, get creative, and write with tarot cards as your guide.
Whether you’re here for the money talk and realities of freelance journalism or a creative spark, there’s something for you.
Both will be recorded, so you’ll also get full access for as long as you like in case you can’t make it live.
Plus: FWN paid subscribers can scroll down for 50% off both events! 👇
Monday 11 May | 5:30–7:00 PM BST | Online via Zoom
Money. It’s the topic freelance writers rarely talk about openly (and probably the one that matters most).
In this live session, freelance journalist Isabel Woodford (bylines at the FT, The Atlantic, and more) pulls back the curtain on her real earnings, how she structures her income, and the financial framework she’s built over years in the industry.
You’ll leave with a clearer roadmap for building a freelance career that’s actually sustainable. All ticket holders also get a £20 discount on Isabel’s digital course, The Business of Freelance Writing (usually £99).

Thursday 21 May | 1:00–3:00 PM ET | Online via Zoom
No fortune-telling. No woo woo. Just two hours of generative writing with author and creative Tawny Lara as your guide.
Using tarot imagery spanning centuries, from 1600s Italian card games to modern decks, Tawny turns each card into a writing prompt and a doorway into your own creative projects.
Think art history meets journaling in a zero-pressure space. Bring a pen, bring your curiosity, and bring your deck if you have one.
