Overview:
This training was produced in 2019 by a group of European coordinators responsible for building ESFL’s Speak Freely blogging platform.
Speak Freely was created, built, and maintained entirely by volunteer coordinators who wanted to support students on their journey towards becoming successful writers for liberty.
After completing this training, many participants will be successful at getting their first article published. For some, this may be the beginning of an exciting career writing for liberty.
At the time of recording, the Speak Freely team were all SFL coordinators, just like you. They used the tools, opportunities, and resources provided by SFL to leverage their flair and skill for writing. They are all accomplished and experienced writers having scores of articles published in major mainstream news outlets across the planet. Many have gone on to hold positions at major pro-liberty media, think tanks, or communications outlets.
