Writers and Creators of Waterloo Region
Who We Are
Writers and Creators of Waterloo Region encourages local people interested in developing and using their writing and media focused skills to post articles, photographs, and videos that are of interest to local Waterloo Region residents. We provide compensation to members where this material is used for commercial purposes.
If you are interested in things like publishing your written works, doing a photography project, or producing videos, we may have a project for you. For example, if you would like to get a written article published online, provide original photographs, or produce a video for distribution in one of our social media accounts, here is your opportunity.
We are encouraging members to submit written pieces of between 400 and 1000 words, and if accepted we will publish your piece in our blog called "Around Waterloo Region".
If this sounds interesting join the WCWR and we'll keep you informed of opportunities to publish your work and take part in upcoming projects. There is no obligation in joining, and no cost. All we need is contact information and a brief summary of your skills, interests, and how you would like to be involved.
Other Places to Publish
We also have another less targeted publication called "Waterloo Region Today" - Deals and Events - where you can publish material not intended for "Around Waterloo Region". Published material must be original, meet our standards and conform to our publishing rules, but other than that the subject matter is pretty wide open. We use this blog to post special deals and events.
We also have a Facebook Group called Young Writers and Creators of Waterloo Region specifically aimed at writers where we encourage members to post shorter material, link to other works they have done, and engage in friendly conversation with other members.
