Hey Everyone!

This has been a super busy week!!

We launched the latest feature to our subscription package — our list of over 200 hiring publications! Including pay-rates, how to submit, how to pitch and where to pitch! It’s the complete package for a freelance writer.

Writing is difficult and I’m sure you all know that when you’re on Twitter or Facebook, there’s absolutely no shortage of people hunting down writing jobs. With so many low paying opportunities, it’s really on us to work together to make sure that regardless where a writer is based, they get a fair wage. FWIW: I think that fair wage is between $0.10 and $0.20. Anything less, you’re selling yourself short! Anything more — you’re onto a winner!

If you’re a new writer and struggling to find paid work — get in touch and we’ll do our best to help!

Note: As always — if you think we’re doing a good job then we’d appreciate any support! We’re trying to forge a new path and find a better way for writers to get paid, so if you want to help us on our journey, then get in touch! Also please support the newsletter!

Our subscription gives access to a historical jobs list of over 700 opportunities, over 200 publications and their pitching guidelines + fees, also a future competitions page!

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!
