So many jobs, so so many jobs

We need some more freelancers in here…

https://www.thewritersjobnewsletter.com/

Morning everyone!!

Not to make y’all jealous but I’m on another trip at the moment! My partner and I had our wedding cancelled twice…and hopefully we’re 3rd time lucky this summer! In light of all of that (and the cold winter of London), we decided to go for a mini-honeymoon! We say mini, but it’s pretty awesome and v-beach centric. So from the beaches in the middle of nowhere, happy Sunday! And yes, I’m still sending this newsletter!

Being a writer is awesome as you meet so many people. Like really, you meet the crypto bros, you meet the medics, the charitables, you meet the historians, the political type, the finance type — everyone! So much so that over a longer period of time, you realise that society is just a pool of serendipity. You never know what’s going to come next but there’s a colour to society that writing brings, and one that I absolutely love!

Last week we launched a product — our historical jobs list!

If you want to apply for more jobs, then jobs we’ve sent out previously are often still open (some are open for months!). Becoming a subscriber gives you access to our Google Sheets, allowing you to find all of these opportunities in one place. Not only that, it can act as a database for rates/editors/publications as well.

We also have another product launching this week. So stay tuned!!

Calls to Pitch

I try to ensure all the positions are well-paid, and if not, they’re helpful in some other way. Our readership varies from new writers to established writers, so some jobs are better for others. Either way, if you have any questions, get in touch with me or the employer, see how you can help, and grow your network! I try to only show remote jobs, but sometimes allow odd interesting jobs to pass through.
