Yes, we are worthy: making it in the freelance world

Hey you lucky, lucky Toronto freelancers, there’s another great event coming up for you in September.

Yes, we are worthy: making it in the freelance world will be an evening of discussion with bestselling author Ann Douglas (writer of the popular Story Board post “Why I Am No Longer Writing The Column I Loved for The Toronto Star“) and Nicole Cohen, an assistant professor and researcher of cultural work and media labour.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, 24 September 2013 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at Hart House on the U of T campus. It’s co-sponsored by the Canadian Media Guild, Cultural Workers Organize and the Canadian Writers Group.

Discussion topics will range from compensation to finding freelance opportunities to the benefits of finding a freelance network.

Refreshments will be served and tickets are free. But space is limited, so register here if you’d like to attend.

Freelancers outside of Toronto: don’t despair. We’ll post highlights from the event here on Story Board soon afterwards.
