London Freelance Branch meetingsLFB meetings are at 7pm on the second Monday of each month (except August), generally at Friends House, Euston Road, London WC1. For the benefit of members coming in from shifts and so on, there are sandwiches. Please check back here - meeting subjects and speakers inevitably change from time to time. To be sure of receiving our monthly email alert and virtual Freelance listing, give us your details at www.londonfreelance.org/linkup.php. Volunteer minute-takers are still needed for some Branch meetings. Please contact a committee member if you are interested: see contacts. |

We will discuss ways of getting paid for work used online. What's the best way to remind editors that "we have no budget" is, er, inexact in the case of a professional contribution like yours and "comment is free" is just a metaphor? How to negotiate when an online piece is promoted to print? One of our speakers is Martin Cloake, who has much experience both of being and of commissioning freelances for magazines. We expect the other will be photographer Julio Etchart, who says "half my income comes from online agencies, and all the management of my images is done online, - including keeping a steady supply of pictures in the 'cloud'."
