Future workshops for freelance journalists on boosting income with commercial writing

THANKS a million to everyone who has been in touch to say how much they enjoyed our commercial writing workshop on Saturday.

The magic of Twitter, Facebook and Blackberry means the testimonials started coming in pretty much as soon as the the course finished.

We are considering holding future events in London and the Midlands as there has been so much interest, so please do get in touch if you would like to know more. This is a workshop which explores the possibilities of boosting freelance earnings by taking on commercial writing work while being transparent with editors about that work - and avoiding potential conflicts of interest.

Here's some of the feedback we have had so far:
