Before the weighted blanket of enforced isolation came down around our heads, I was being weighed up to participate in a student media conference where I was due to speak to young journalists about the trials and tribulations of going freelance. This made me feel somewhat fraudulent since writing makes up perhaps ten percent of my freelance income, but whether it’s writing or graphic design (or any of the other things I do) there’s plenty that I’ve learned over the last four years which can help you in jumping out of contracted work and into the weird, stressful, hilarious and brilliant world of freelancing.
