ASJA Annual Conference: Jersey City
- This event has passed.
As freelance journalists and authors, we collaborate with editors, agents, publishers, designers, and multimedia experts. At the 2022 conference, we will explore the ways collaboration helps us succeed. We have three tracks of interactive, dynamic programming focused on journalism, content marketing, and books. Sessions will benefit freelancers at all phases in their careers. Also available are members-only mastermind programs for small groups led by freelance experts.
With more than 900 members, ASJA stands as the country’s leading and most prestigious association of successful journalists, authors, and nonfiction and literary nonfiction writers, and we’ve never had a better time to talk about collaboration and networking.
Join us at the conference in 2022 for a plethora of networking opportunities, exceptional programming, and the enjoyment of being around like-minded people. Both days of the conference will be open for non-members. ASJA is excited about expanding this opportunity to those who want to learn more about the world of journalism and literary nonfiction.
