✍️ FWN | 100+ Pitch Calls & Freelance Writing Opportunities | September 8th, 2025
Start your week with 100+ new paid writing gigs.
Welcome to Monday’s newsletter, with more than 100 new pitch calls and freelance & contract writing opportunities!
As I’m away on holiday from Thursday, free subscribers will not receive any roundup this week, with Monday to Wednesday’s opportunities exclusively for paid subscribers!
Looking to publish a non-fiction book?
Join us on Tuesday, September 23rd for an exclusive live masterclass with FWN host Amy Arthur and UK literary agent Kate Barker. With 20+ years’ experience in publishing as an agent, editor, and ghostwriter, Kate has helped countless authors land book deals. She’ll show you exactly what makes a non-fiction proposal stand out, what sinks one, and how to position your book in today’s market. Whether you’re writing memoir, smart thinking, pop science, or lifestyle non-fiction, you’ll leave with practical tools and a clear plan for pitching your book.
Tickets are £19.99 ($27), with 50% off for FWN paid subscribers. We’ll also cover key differences between UK and US submissions so writers on both sides of the Atlantic get tailored guidance.
