🔓 85+ new paid writing gigs are live now!

Hey, writers!

We’re back with more than 85 fantastic new pitch calls & writing jobs. I’m sending this one a second time due to some issues with delivery, so sorry if that means you’re seeing this twice!

As mentioned on Monday, I’ve been out of office for a couple days after moving house. Some internet issues yesterday meant I was unable to complete an update for you, but we should be back in full swing from today onwards.

Some of the usual posts we’d have shared in the daily update are now full or oversubscribed. As a result, we’ve been more selective here, choosing jobs that are still hiring and aren’t overran with applicants.

Have a browse through this one before the week ends, find some opportunities that match your experience best, and get hunting for new writing work. And please reach out if I can do anything to help!

See you again soon.

~ George
