The Shifting Freelance Market: New Markets, New Media, New Opportunities (Presented in partnership with Ryerson University's G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education)
Fundamental forces like the Internet and the "great recession" have had a dramatic impact on many traditional markets for freelance writers. What markets today hold the most promise for freelancers? Is the Internet the new land of opportunity? How do writers break into online writing, and which markets are most lucrative? Is corporate writing a recipe for wealth? What industries provide the best compensation? Are books, magazines and newspapers really dead? Our panel of experts will answer these questions and more.
