Commissioning

Writing and developing ideas and proposals will probably form a large part of your work as a freelance and you need to be able to write concisely and clearly. If you have worked in the media as an employee previously it is likely that you will have come across many proposals and treatments. See the Commissioning section for advice on what should be included in a proposal.
