Are you new to freelancing? Or have you been practicing for a while? This is the survey for you.

Help me get to know the state of freelance journalism/writing during COVID. Tell me how your freelance career is going for you and what you need to work better in 2021. I want to gather the right resources for you but I want to know what you need. Once I get enough entries, I will publish the results on the Missed Pitches newsletter and on the Twitter account @MissedPitches.
