11 May 2010
The annual Broadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union (BECTU) Freelancer's Fair is returning to London in June, with those in media jobs expected to attend.
Taking place at Savoy Place on June 11th, the event will offer seminars, exhibitions and workshops to those in the industry who work on a self-employed basis or are considering the switch to freelancing.
Nicola Lees, author of Greenlit: Developing Factual and Reality Ideas from Concept to Pitch, will be on hand to offer advice about winning contracts, while Steve Hewlett from Radio 4's The Media Show will also be talking about how to get by in the film industry.
Mike Dick, chair of the Writers Producers and Directors branch, which organises the fair, said: "New, established or prospective freelancers, all are welcome."
Freelance UK recently suggested that self-employed people in media jobs should always ask for feedback from their clients to see how they can improve their service.
