My name is Stacey Newman and I am a Canadian photographer, author, journalist and editor-in-chief based in Milton, Ontario. I have worked as a freelance media professional for over 20 years across Canada and the globe. I’m currently the editor-in-chief and managing editor for trade publications STAY Magazine and BLOCKtalk Magazine respectively; as well as being a freelance contributor to several other organizations/publications. I have been a member of several Canadian journalism organizations for most of my career thus far including the CAJ, NPAC, and of course the CFG. I am interested in contributing more to the CFG by sharing my experience and knowledge in the business of freelancing in Canada as both a visual and print media professional. I’ve had many experiences in professional photography, journalism, magazine work and event coverage that spans industries and topics, and I think this uniquely positions me to contribute as a mentor, advisor and advocate for other Canadian freelancers.
Write magazine features for general interest magazines. Experienced in devising and executing communication and engagement strategies online. This includes: writing blogs, creating website content, writing promotional/marketing content, facilitating online communities, and running webinars. Having previously worked in the social and market research industries, I'm also skilled in primary and secondary research, and in conducting interviews.
Freelance writer and editor specializing in impact stories, feature articles, magazine content, newsletters, email campaigns, business communication, scripts, and speeches. Background includes forty years of experience as a writer, editor, media spokesperson, and consultant to C-level executives in several sectors. As communications manager for Samaritan’s Purse Canada, my colleagues and I worked on campaigns that incorporated email, landing pages, social media, web content, traditional direct mail, and print. Now semi-retired, I have edited a community magazine for the past three years, contributed a monthly business column to my local newspaper for the past six, and collaborated with a list of clients that currently includes Best Version Media, Great West Media, and TCN Publishing. When you work with me, you get a lifetime of knowledge, an experienced editorial technician, and a trusted collaborator who helps you communicate in ways that foster positive relationships and achieve your objectives. My writing style is simple, clear, elegant, and stimulating. My overriding objectives are to inform, educate, and persuade I love writing stories about people and have years of samples that prove it.
With 20 years of journalism experience, I have a few wildly varying beats under my belt. In Edmonton, I covered crime. In New York City, I wrote about music and arts. In Whistler and Squamish, I covered environmental issues and mountain history. In between, I served stints as editor and assistant editor, putting together newspapers under tight deadlines, ensuring accuracy. For all those years, I've been on staff at magazines, community newspapers, daily newspapers, and alternative weekly papers--as well as contributing to all of their websites. Now, as a mother of two young kids, I'm excited to pursue freelancing.
I'm a skilled business writer/editor with seven years of experience and particular expertise in developing plain-language reference and training materials. I've worked in non-profit, government, and corporate environments. Along with my corporate experience, I have a substantial background as a freelance editor and proofreader. Since 2003, I've worked with dozens of job seekers, business people, authors and scholars to help them develop, polish, and (where appropriate) publish their work. My current areas of focus are fiction, trade non-fiction, and scholarly books/articles in the humanities and social sciences (especially literary and cultural history), but I'm happy to discuss other kinds of projects as well.

I am an anthropologist who writes about sexuality, gender, and dating relationships. With over two decades of internationally-recognized research expertise, I'm excited to leverage my unique skill set into more popular domains. Knowledge is power and writing, at its best, should tell the stories that don't get heard often enough. That's what I'm excited to do in partnership with various editorial staff.
My niche began as agriculture and expanded to include garden centres, food growing, beverage making, alcohol, food processing and much more. If it has to do with food or booze, I'm in!

I'm also a B2B2C specialist and love helping companies communicate with their retailer customers as well as their end users.
