✍️ 50+ Pitch Calls & Freelance Writing Opportunities | December 22
Dozens of new gigs to kick off the last few days before Christmas!
Welcome to Monday’s FWN newsletter, a fresh roundup of 50+ pitch calls, freelance & contract writing opportunities!
Today is the last full day of opportunities before Christmas — you’ll receive a post tomorrow with some extras, but it (likely) won’t be a full update.
Otherwise, I’ll share updates as and when between Christmas and January 5th, at which point the schedule will return to normal.
Happy holidays!
