Calling all freelancers!

Recommended Posts

Calling all freelance writers, designers, photographers, illustrators, PR, marketeers . . .



I am a book editor and publishing consultant, working from home in East Dulwich and I am interested in meeting any locals who, like me, enjoy being their own boss but miss the buzz and community of belonging to an organisation. Perhaps you miss the stimulus of working alongside others with the opportunity for collaboration and those all-important chance encounters?


If you think you?d benefit from:


a stronger division between work and home life


a dedicated workspace outside of your own home, but in your local area


being part of a useful, informal creative community


IT support on the spot


access to a meeting room space


good coffee . . . !




. . . . then I?d love to talk to you about how we might build an informal community in East Dulwich. For example, what would you look for in a shared workspace? What are your professional frustrations and opportunities? To talk about how we might make our working lives more productive, creative and enjoyable, please come and join me either for a coffee at 11am in Tierra Verde or a drink in the East Dulwich Tavern at 6.30pm on Tuesday 27th January. RSVPs appreciated. And feel free to drop me a line with any questions.



I look forward to seeing you!

Hi Jane,

This sounds great! I would love to come along - to the evening bit if that is okay?

I am a children's books editor and do appreciate how lucky I am to work from home, but also worry that all these days alone talking to the cat will turn me a bit weird.

Hi Jane,


If at all possible, I'd like to pop along to the evening session. I currently work from home video editing and other bits and bobs.


However, I am also currently in the process of setting up a small indie book publishing house. A sort of punk rock label for books, if you will. I would love to have a chat about it and get some expert advice!


So if it's OK, I'll pop along to the EDT?


Cheers,


Graham

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
