The workshop was incredibly useful in helping me understand the steps to take to start out as a freelancer. The workshop put me at ease and allowed me to get my questions answered about my freelancing worries. In addition to this, receiving the Illustrated Freelancers Guide to take away with me has allowed me to learn further about freelancing after the workshop.
