Oftentimes as a freelance journalist, finding work isn't easy. Sometimes you have to create a job for yourself. That's just what Karen Schaefer did with her recent quilt barn series for the Ohio Humanities. Listen as she gives us some great advice on making it as an independent freelance journalist by thinking out of the box and recreating our careers in new ways.

Listen to Karen's interview here (MP3/3.69 MB/00:03:57).

Listen to some of Karen's humanities work. In a few months, her quilt series will be posted here.
