Digitized edition from print [produced by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada]. "This study employs survey data collected in October, 1979, and applies to a large sample of freelance writers in Canada. While offering a close-up view of writers working in particular fields, such as poetry, fiction or drama, it also paints a collective portrait of the Canadian writing scene by revealing many details about the circumstances surrounding the freelancer's life. No study to date has approached the task from such a global perspective, although numerous writers' associations have surveyed sectors of the writing community through membership studies over the years. Rather than exploring one theme in detail, the study addresses a wide range of topics. This enables the delineation of such aspects as the demographic characteristics, education, training, careers and income found in the writing community. Comparisons between writers and the general population shed further light on this vital component of the Canadian cultural mosaic"--Introduction, page 12.
