Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

We've been inviting non-members to watch our CMG Freelance webinar series recently. But members get an extra benefit: access to archived webinars. That means you can watch them at your convenience whenever you like. We've posted a few new ones recently in the members section of the CMG Freelance website.

The most recent webinars include one on lifestyle writing with award-winning reporter and editor Arti Patel a national online journalist at GlobalNews.

We've also posted the first two of our ongoing social media webinar series with marketing strategist Katt Stearns. Katt's webinars on Twitter and Facebook for journalists are now available for streaming. We'll be posting her LinkedIn webinar soon. And stay tuned for her upcoming webinar on Instagram.

Another recent addition to our webinar library is "Cybersecurity for Journalists," led by Jane Lytvynenko, a reporter for BuzzFeed news who writes about online disinformation. Jane gives a rundown of some steps reporters can take to secure their everyday activities, both online and off.

We've also got webinars about contract negotiation, brand storytelling, freelance finances, and more.
