She is in process of updating her popular “Get Paid to Write! Getting Started as a Freelance Writer” booklet and expanding it for a publishing house. Details to come.

Ruth also recently made speeches on becoming a freelancer to the Rochester, NY, and national conferences of the Society of Technical Communication (STC) and a regional conference of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), and will make a similar presentation at the national SPJ conference in August in Indianapolis. At the STC national conference, she also presented a session on “Finding and Working Well with Freelancers.” She presented workshops on freelancing and websites for writers for the EFA in DC in May and spoke on “Writing Your Way to New Business” for the Rochester Professional Consultants Network’s spring conference.

Congratulations, Ruth!
