Hi,
Just looking for some advice re freelancing. I write for a regional magazine and my DP has been a stay-at-home dad since I went back to work after maternity leave. He's now been offered a full-time job, so I need to decide whether to put DD into nursery or try to be a SAHM and freelance.
In a way I see this as a good opportunity to break out a bit. If DD hadn't come along (surprise!) I would hope I'd have furthered my career a bit more now.
On the otherhand, as I work on a regional magazine, the region is basically my speciality - I can write about arts, culture, shopping, restaurants whatever, but all the contacts I have are within my region. I know for a fact my editor would not be happy with me freelancing for another regional publication and I can't imagine any others would either. So where do I begin?
Can I also ask what a freelancer would expect to earn? I have two years full-time work behind me, but no journalism qualification, so I'd consider myself fairly junior.
Thanks
