The Freelance Remuda Cowboy Country Workshop blends an iconic Wyoming Western atmosphere with a wealth of knowledge needed to become a proficient backpack journalist. In today’s media landscape, freelance content creators need to know how to interview and write about a subject, photograph the subject and also provide social media content.
At this workshop, you’ll learn from experienced freelancers as you’re immersed in the editorial workflow needed to successfully pitch and complete an assignment in equine media. Along with learning about content creation for media, you’ll see life on a working ranch that includes a barrel racing breeding program, working Border Collie program and is scenic to boot!
