Events & Workshops

The SWG is looking for writers who want to write for Freelance Magazine. If you have an idea on the craft or business of writing, we'd love to hear from you. 

Each issue of Freelance features articles written by SWG members or writers with magazine writing experience. Contributors are paid 20¢ per word. All articles are on the craft or business of writing and are either a 1500 or 800 word count. If you have written for magazines before, or want to try your hand at it, you are eligible to contribute.

Pitches should include:

• Up to 300 words describing what the piece will be about and how you will present the information (ie: Q&A, interviews, humour, multiple issue series...) plus details that you think are relevant. Please also include why this topic is important to you and what makes it something that you want to write about.
• Your name and contact information
• If you've never written for Freelance before, please include a short description of your qualifications (ie: past magazine writing experience, subject expert, want to gain experience...)
• Submit your pitch by email only to the Freelance Editor at swgmedia@skwriter.com. 

We are currently booking writers for the Summer 2023 issue and beyond.
