Craig Silverman’s Summary
I am a freelance writer in Montreal, Canada. My writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, The Globe And Mail, Montreal Gazette, Report On Business, Report On Small Business, Toro, Editor & Publisher, The Coast, In Touch, and the Sunday Herald, among others.
I write The Office, a weekly workplace culture column and blog for The Globe And Mail, and The Explainer, a weekly news column for Hour. I'm also the founder and editor of Regret the Error, an award-winning site that tracks and reports on accuracy and media corrections. My first book, Regret the Error: How Media Mistakes Pollute the Press and Imperil Free Speech was published by Penguin Canada and Union Square Press in fall 2007.
I occasionally write for The Huffington Post and served as the Director of Verification for NewAssignment.net, a networked journalism project led by Jay Rosen and funded by NYU and Reuters, among others.
I'm represented by Don Sedgwick and Shaun Bradley of the Transatlantic Literary Agency. I also serve as the President, Quebec Chapter, of the Professional Writers Association of Canada and am a member of the Board of Directors of the Concordia Journalism Alumni Association.
