The Freelance Creative

The Freelancer is run by Contently, a technology company based in New York City. Contently was founded in 2010 with the mission of building a better media world—for the creatives who tell stories, for brands that want to connect with consumers, and for everyday people who rely on stories to understand the world. Put simply, Contently sells software and services to help brands trying to create high-quality content.

We built The Freelancer because we care about freelancers, and think they deserve a publication that covers the news, advice, and stories they actually care about. We also want to foster a communal atmosphere for freelancers to share stories and give each other advice. The hope is that by reading The Freelancer, freelancers will understand their industry better while improving at their craft.
