Periodical Writers Association of Canada
"In 1976, a group of freelance writers started meeting to share information and stories about writing for Canada's magazines and newspapers. They quickly realized that when writers worked together -- by, for example, talking about rates they were being paid -- they could more effectively protect their interests and strengthen the writing community as a whole."

"From those meetings grew PWAC, an organization that now serves over 500 freelance writers across Canada. Today, PWAC's goals are: To develop and maintain professional standards in editor-writer relationships. To encourage higher industry standards and fees for all types of freelance writing. To offset the isolation so commonly felt among freelance writers by providing networking opportunities, regular meetings and the chance to share their experiences. To provide professional development workshops and materials for members across the country to explore current issues and trends within the industry. To provide information on issues, trends and new technology that is of interest to writers. To mediate grievances between writers and editors. To work actively for the survival of periodical writing in a highly competitive communications market. To lobby for freedom of the press and freedom of expression in Canada."
