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.

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.

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 Hikmat Noori, an Afghan who has, since my early years, worked towards rebuilding my war-torn nation. From an early age, I have strived towards gaining my education as well as developing skills that are crucial for a post-conflict society such as Afghanistan. Apart from that, I am fluent in Dari, Pashto, English, Hindi, and has a basic knowledge of Turkish. Being multilingual, gave me a unique access to diverse spaces in the region; which is why I ventured into journalism--to be able to tell the stories of the people. I write for various publications focusing primarily on stories from Afghanistan. https://muckrack.com/hikmatnoori
