SPJ's New Freelance Database is Live!

SPJ Freelance Members - The new database is live and ready to launch today! Check it out and let me know what you think! I know Wendy Hoke, the previous freelance committee chair worked extra hard on this, so it's time to thank her again! SPJ is working hard to publicize the database to editors and publications. If you are a freelance member of SPJ and signed up, thank you for helping us make this a reality, if you haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for? And if you aren't a member of SPJ, this is another good reason to join!

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Susan McKee, Wendy and Ed Cooper, who have all helped me this year in contributing to Quill. Susan had an excellent article on travel writing, Wendy did one on the importance of digital technology to freelancers and Ed will have one coming up on the importance of conferences.

Kerri - can you put a link to the database in this post? (or maybe I'm just not seeing it??) Thanks!

Also, if anyone has any success stories to tell us after editors have contacted you, please let me know! I've been fielding queries from editors all morning. I'm very excited by the intial response!

I too got a query this morning.  Hope those keep coming.  Thanks for all your hard work Kerri (and everyone else involved).

I know some newspaper reporters here in India who are looking to freelance but there seems to be no way for outside U.S. people to add their listings.

Thanks for the comment. We are working on refining the database. I think we do have one freelancer listed in Japan.
