🔓 50+ new paid writing gigs are live now!
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!
