Hello!
I’m interested in making a career change, from technical authoring in IT, and one area that I’m interested in is writing or editing interpretive content for museums, galleries and so on. So, I have a few questions, that I’d be grateful if you could answer, please:
1. Do most writers work freelance rather than as employees? If so, would you normally start by working as an employee, to gain experience?
2. How do you get started? What qualifications, training or experience are needed?
3. What’s the pay like? Can you give any rough figures?
Any answers or redirections to further info would be gratefully received.
With regards,
Ed
