Hey!

Is the year going incredibly quickly for everyone? We’re somehow almost at October already!

It’s such a cliche to love the autumn, but I really do find it to be the most enjoyable time of the year as a writer. It’s often busiest too, with lots more opportunities available. It’s also great for working creatively! Colder, darker evenings… something about it makes writing feel that much more romantic.

Today we’re back with another 50+ new pitch calls and writing jobs, meaning we’ve already shared more than 125 with you this week alone after 75 new roles yesterday.

I’m hoping to announce our next live session with you very soon (plus a recording of our most recent one), plus a couple of themed roundups before the end of the week. Looking forward to sharing everything with you soon!

I’ll see you again tomorrow with lots more paid writing gigs.

Hey writers!

Today we’ve got another 50 paid writing opportunities for you, taking us to 170+ for the week (and you can browse through all our recent daily editions here).

There are lots of freelance roles in content and copy, and some full-time opportunities in the media industry. We understand it’s a difficult time right now, and some freelancers are looking to make the shift (back to or for the first time) to full-time work.

Either way, these are all vetted, paying opportunities (amount listed wherever available) that want to pay writers. Right now.

As a quick note for you, logging off social media has helped enormously for me in avoiding all of the doom and gloom in the writing world, and just focusing on what I can control has made me feel more positive. Yes, writing professionally is a challenge right now, but all we can do about it is be proactive and stick at our craft. The FWN will help you with that as much as we can.

I’ll see you again soon with our next update!

Hey writers!

More than 45 new opportunities today for you, adding to the 75+ we shared yesterday. That makes 120+ already this week, which is another really promising start for paid writing work.

Worth remembering though: calls for opportunities and job postings aren’t the only way to find clients.

Some FWN members use these roundups differently. Not just to apply, but as a reference list. By seeing who’s hiring writers, you can note them down and cold pitch them later. It’s much easier cold pitching someone once you know they already work with writers.

So it’s worth keeping in mind: writers still find success by approaching potential clients directly, and by reconnecting with people they’ve worked with before. Being a writer isn’t only about spotting a job call early and getting your application in before someone’s inbox is completely overwhelmed with applicants.

See you again soon!

Happy Monday!

We’re back to start your week with 75+ new pitch calls and writing jobs. Some awesome new opportunities in our latest update.

I say it every week, but it’s true. Monday is just such a good day to find new work. Hiring managers & editors are just opening their inboxes, and you get to arrive right at the top of it by pitching or applying at the right moment.

It looks like lots of opportunities are still coming through. We’re sharing well over 200 a week right now which, given all current AI debacle, is a great sign for the future.

AI raises the floor for writing, but it creates such generic slop that it should be easy for working, professional writers to rise above it. So a top tip: don’t use it to pitch or write with! Trust me, everyone can tell. And as 2026 gets towards its close, more and more people know how to spot it too.

We hope to see you at today’s live session, and if not then I’ll see you in your inbox again very soon.

🎥 Today: Make Social Media Work for Your Writing Business

Social media doesn’t have to mean posting constantly, becoming an influencer or trying to master every platform.

In today’s live FWN member session (12pm PST / 3pm EST / 8pm BST), Kathryn will share a more practical approach: how to build visibility, connect with the right editors and clients, turn conversations into opportunities, and promote your work without social media taking over your week.

Hey!

Back at you today with more than 50 new pitch calls & writing jobs (mostly freelance, a few full-time thrown in).

As it was Labour Day in the US & Canada yesterday (I hope you all had a lovely extended weekend!), I was expecting today might be a little slower. Looks like that’s not the case, with tons of new opportunities ready and waiting for you!

It’s still a challenging time to be a freelance writer right now, but at the FWN we’re here to help. Based on our recent roundups (we shared 70+ yesterday, so 120+ this week already), writers are increasingly fashionable and in need again. In a world of mediocre machine writing, personality and definable branding are all the rage.

It will take time for the world to adjust to new technology, but I’m still optimistic about the future of writing… even if it’s hard to think that way right now.

I’ll see you again tomorrow for our next update.
