If you're heading down to SXSW, don't miss Contently's inaugural Freelance Writers Meetup. We're bringing together a room full of top journalists to gather over a full Texas brunch buffet, all the mimosas you can down in two hours, and the brilliant wisdom of Ben Parr -- former Mashable editor, startup entrepreneur and CNET and CBSi columnist. $5 reserves your spot, and we're covering the rest! So get your spot now, tell all of your journo friends, and meet us at Paggi House on Sunday, March 11th for a brunch worth bragging about! About Ben Parr You probably know Ben Parr from his epic adventure as a tech journalist at social media news site Mashable. But he's on a new mission: founding a startup with co-founder and ex-Googler Hilary Karls. Code-named The Peep Project, the startup is an intelligent information assistant powered by time technology, says Ben. So, how does a well-known tech editor make the leap to being an entrepreneur and still have time to write on the side? Luckily, we'll have Ben on hand to share his story in a relaxed, french toast-infused setting. Paggi House Brunch Details Paggi House is known for its "New American cuisine with international touches," creative cocktail list, and sweeping views of Austin's downtown skyline and Lady Bird Lake. The brunch buffet cover its bases -- vegetarian or carnivorous, you won't leave hungry. With unlimited mimosas, though, you may leave a little tipsy. Join Our Budding Community The Freelance Writers Meetup is a community of freelance writers who are changing the way content is created, published and distributed. The meetup is organized by Contently, a marketplace that connects freelance writers with brand publishers. When we get together, we like to think big. Quality is king. Freelance is the future. And we are the revolution. We're based in New York for now, but plan to take this movement global. We're looking forward to seeing you in Austin! Bottoms up!
