About the Freelance Writing Network
The Freelance Writing Network is a newsletter featuring the most comprehensive list of high-quality freelance writing opportunities available anywhere online.
Multiple times a week, I send out a carefully curated list of:
Active pitch calls from editors at magazines, newspapers, and digital outlets.
Collections of publications with themed and highly-paid opportunities, complete with the details you need to send your next pitch.
Freelance and remote writing jobs in journalism, content, comms, and creative media.
Paid editing, copywriting, and newsletter roles.
Bursaries, residencies, competitions, and lit mag submissions.
This isn’t a repackaged job board or a round-up of stale listings. Every opportunity is hand-picked, up-to-date, and chosen because it’s worth your time.
How does it work?
The newsletter is sent out twice a week, with all listings sorted by category, while the live opportunities board is updated every single weekday:
🗓️ Mondays: Full access for paid subscribers with 70-100 fresh freelance, editing, and pitching opportunities.
📩 Thursdays: Another full list, with a curated digest for free subscribers (and just a fraction of the total opportunities available to paid subscribers).
Every listing includes key details where available (pay rate, topic focus, deadline, who to pitch, and what to include).
I also include additional roundups each week, including:
All this plus much, much more! Check out this link to see all the extras I’ve posted in recent months.
What do paid subscribers get?
For just $7.99/£6 per month, paid subscribers get the full experience, including:
✅ Early and complete access to both weekly editions.
✅ The Live Pitch & Freelance Jobs Board, updated daily with new listings.
✅ The full premium archive, with thousands of past opportunities.
✅ Access to themed lists and deep dives into high-paying outlets.
✅ Interviews with editors, freelancers, and leads on how to land assignments.
✅ Subscriber-only Q&As, chat threads, and a growing community of freelancers sharing leads and advice.
If you’re actively looking for writing work, or ready to start pitching professionally, this is the ultimate resource to help you move fast, stay ahead, and find work that actually pays.
Why I started the Freelance Writing Network
Like many writers, I used to rely on newsletters and job boards to find decent writing work. But over time, the quality of those lists started to drop. Fewer leads. Lower pay. The same recycled calls showing up again and again.
So I started doing it myself.
Each week, I now spend hours tracking new listings across dozens of sources—editors, hiring boards, Substacks, online communities, publication job pages, newsletter classifieds, mastheads, and more.
It’s meticulous work. But it’s worth it.
Each week sees 200+ new opportunities, including original pitch calls and hard-to-find gigs that haven’t yet gone viral.
Many of my subscribers tell me they land work directly through the newsletter—often from listings they say they couldn’t have found anywhere else.
This is the kind of newsletter I wish existed when I started out. So I built it.
Whether you’re writing features, essays, content, or copy… this newsletter helps you spend less time trawling job boards and more time getting commissioned!
I’ll see you in your inbox.
George,
