We are in what can be an isolating profession – writing – freelance writing at that. For this reason alone, it is important that we reach out to our fellow freelancers, our copywriting/creative writing siblings (so to speak). Whether it is for support, job referrals or business advice on improving our freelance businesses, we need to network.
Even if you are not a member, I am sure that, by now, you’ve heard of the social/business networking site linkedin. If you are not a member, you should be, and you can sign up for linkedin here.
The following are the top groups for their respective categories. They represent those groups that I believe can be of huge value to freelance copywriters right now, as reflected by their membership numbers. So, in their own words, I present the top eight:
Creative Intensive Network – For All Advertising Creatives
This group is for all creative advertising professionals. If you’re an Art Director (AD), Copywriter (CW), Creative Director (CD) and work in creative fields.
This group is for copywriters and bloggers or anyone interested in the art of marketing copy.
This group is for those looking for freelance assignments. It is for event and exhibition organizer copywriters, web-designers, graphic designers, photographers, sales & marketing professionals.
This group is set up for self-employed (freelance) copywriters who simply want to “help each other.”
This is the premiere group for new and accomplished copywriters alike, to meet and share valuable information to bring their careers to the next level.
This group is for freelance copywriters, IT 3D modelers, animators, architectural designers art directors, editors, proofreaders, film/video/multimedia professionals, graphic designers, illustrators, interior designers, journalists, marketers, photographers, programmers, stylists, PR professionals, agents, web designers, and finance and legal freelancers.
The Freelance Writers’ Connection
This group is here to connect with community support, provide networking opportunities and mutual expertise in freelance writing. The goal is to advance the members’ individual writing careers while connecting members with each other in meaningful relationships.

This is a group shared with artists, creative designers, animators, game developers & creative writers. It includes four active subgroups for web graphic design, writing (science fiction fantasy), art lovers (painting sculpting), and professionals in 3D animation computer games (Special Visual Effects VFX, CGI Motion Graphics).
