I have decent writing skills. I want to turn those skills into money. Can anyone recommend any good websites or magazines or whatever in Canada?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Emperor Wolf.

Are you living in Canada?

The US is a much better market for that sort of thing. The media ownership here is very concentrated and the industry is quite cliquey. As for websites, I'm not sure. The little research I did dug up on pay seemed to be on level with odesk or elance averages.

When it comes to freelance, you're better off going through people you know for contracts. Most people I know (including me) get most of their jobs through friends or family. If you're fluent in French as well as English, you could always try the Federal Government.

I think googling some sites that may offer jobs would definitely help you expand your knowledge and also help get your name out there
