Each month, the Freelance Writers Meetup invites a writer to discuss his or her story and offer advice for freelance writers of all stripes.

This month, we're excited to have Mary Jo Foley, the foremost  reporter and author covering Microsoft. She'll be speaking about specializing on a beat.

If there's one person out there that can speak about the pros and cons of beat specialization, it's Mary Jo. For a decade, she has specialized in watching and reporting on Microsoft's every move.

If you're wondering about how to make specialization work for you, please join us for this discussion. Pizza and drinks included!

$5 reserves your spot, and we're covering the rest! So get your spot now, tell all of your writer friends, and meet us at Foursquare HQ for pizza and a lively discussion.
