The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is seeking proposals for online professional development workshops from Canadian-based writers to offer starting in September 2025. We are looking for ideas and facilitators who are willing and comfortable using Zoom to offer workshops on the craft or business of writing. We are planning virtual workshops.

The SWG’s Professional Development workshop series focuses on the craft and business of writing. Its goal is to offer skill development for beginning, emerging, or established writers by established writers from a diversity of genres and backgrounds.

Our interactive online workshops will range in length from 90 minutes to 2 hours.

Numbers of participants may range from 8-16 people.

In some cases, we may offer 75-minute webinar presentations with unlimited participants.

Workshops are interactive, meaning the facilitator and participants will be in a Zoom meeting room and will see and hear each other. Interactive sessions may include group discussion, writing prompts, activities, polls, breakout rooms, PowerPoint (or similar technology) presentations, or more.

Webinar presentations are less interactive – a facilitator and host will be on screen, but you will not see participants' cameras/mics. This is a great format for a presentation on a topic followed by a moderated Q&A.

We invite proposals for online presentations and/or workshops to complement the sessions the SWG already has planned. We are open to proposals that relate to all other topics on the craft and business of writing in all genres that aren’t mentioned below, but we are particularly interested in proposals that address:

Craft of writing

• fiction in all lengths and genres (including literary, YA, children’s, romance, thriller, horror, fantasy, crime, etc.)
• poetry and/or spoken word
• script writing (plays and/or screenplays),
• memoir
• comics/graphic novels, or other forms
   

Business of writing

• accounting and income tax,
• self-employment and incorporation,
• marketing and promotion

Renumeration for 75- and 90-minute sessions is $300 and $350 for a 2-hour session.

Preference will be given to proposals that fit the goals of the professional development workshops and are offered by writers residing in Saskatchewan who are representative of a diversity of ideas and identities. Out-of-province applicants must explain their connections to the Saskatchewan writing community in their application. The SWG reserves the right to reject any proposal.

Ricochet Media is partnering with Journalists for Human Rights to deliver a fellowship program for BIPOC students, new grads, and early-career journalists between the ages of 19 and 29. 

In this fellowship, you’ll be paid to get hands-on experience and learn about all aspects of the news business at a growing non-profit digital publication in Canada, including newsroom support, investigative research, writing, reporting, editing, and social media. You’ll also learn about digital production support, community outreach, and podcast production. You’ll work on big investigative projects with teams of seasoned investigative journalists, and contribute to research and story development.

Fellows will work directly with journalists and editors who will provide ongoing mentorship and guidance with numerous opportunities to gain hands-on experience supporting a growing news outlet doing cutting edge public-interest journalism. That is expected to include publishing your own piece of investigative reporting — our team will work with you to ensure you publish at least one byline by the end of the fellowship.  

JHR will also be hosting three guest training sessions over the course of the program, so you’ll have a chance to meet the fellows at other outlets, as well as the amazing trainers who are all experts in their respective fields. 

If you have any questions about the position, please contact Ricochet managing editor Andrea Houston by email at editor@ricochet.media.
