The Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC) has launched a new online portal to connect freelance writers and magazine editors across the country.
The site writers.ca is being promoted to Canadian magazines and from now through the spring of 2013, the site is free. (After February 14, there will be an annual fee for magazines to join, based on circulation figures. Read more.) Writers who are members of PWAC will be listed on the site. (Join PWAC.)
On the site, editors can find writers for specific projects, writers can find editors who might be interested in their work, and organizations can post jobs for specific needs.
The portal also includes tips such as:
- What to pay a writer
- The basics of copyright
- Tips for publishers
- Best practices for writers and editors
