Professional development programs for freelancers in publishing

Whether you’re new to freelancing or are already established and looking for ways to enhance your marketing efforts, techniques to find (more and better-paying) clients, help with tools of the trade such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat, networking resources, tips on making the most of social media, or advice about buying new equipment, Communication Central programs can help you on your journey to a more-successful freelance business and career.

Communication Central relays such practical, business-building information through occasional workshops and the popular annual Be a Better Freelancer® conference, held every fall from 2006 through 2021. The conference provides a variety of presentations for entrepreneurial communicators: tools of the writing, editing and proofreading, etc., trade (Word, Acrobat, social media, etc.), approaches to the freelance lifestyle (finding clients, marketing, pricing, networking and more), and “conceptual” topics (lifestyle, balancing work and family). Whether you’re just starting out or already established, you’ll find information you can use.
