I recently moved back to the Portland area after living out of state for four years, and I've been freelancing (mostly full-time) for the past two years. After searching for a community group that allows self-employed writers and editors to network, share stories and just kick back and mingle, I came up short. So here I am, starting my own. I envision this group meeting once or twice a month for happy hour, where we can chat about what we're working on, spread the word about new freelance opportunities (local or otherwise), tell our oh-so-crazy freelancing tales, and just spend time with other local writers over drinks. We may also plan to attend local media-related workshops, classes and networking events. You should join this group if you are currently a freelance writer and/or editor for any type of media, including magazines, newspapers and websites. Technical writers and those involved with advertising agencies and corporate marketing departments are also encouraged to attend. And even if you're just thinking about freelancing, or you have a full-time job and do some freelance work on the side, we'd love to meet you. Men and women of all ages are welcome. We all know freelancing can be a little lonely, so let's get out from behind our laptops and start creating a community!
