FWN Newsletter: 80 Pitch Calls, Freelance & Remote Writing Opportunities!
30 pitch calls & 50 remote, freelance or hybrid writing opportunities to check out.
Hello, writers!
Quick PSA!
There will be no newsletter next week, as I’m away on a mini-break.
Instead, I’ll be sharing a proper, full post of opportunities for paid subscribers only this Friday—a little like the extra opportunities in the chat, but this time a full post and more opps. And then we’ll be back to normal for the following week!
Today I have an amazing 80 opportunities for you to check out including 30 pitch calls and 50 freelance, remote or hybrid writing opportunities.
Don’t forget: I’m looking for you to share your tips, tricks and best practices for preparing for tax season, given we’re approaching everyone’s favourite time of year! I’ll collate replies and share in one big post, hopefully in the next few weeks! You can share your answers here, and I’d greatly appreciate anyone who can help out!
If you are a free subscriber reading this email, the full newsletter will go live in 24 hours, though upgrading to paid will give you complete access right now.
