FWN Newsletter: 82 Pitch Calls, Freelance & Remote Writing Opportunities!
25 pitch calls & 57 remote, freelance or hybrid writing opportunities to check out.
Hello, writers!
82 opportunities in total for you to check out this week, and a slightly changed format for the job roles (with thanks to some of your feedback via the recent survey). You can still take this survey—and help improve the Freelance Writing Network—right here.
And please let me know what you think of the changes, and whether they helped you to navigate this newsletter!
Just be warned that you will now have to open the full newsletter via app or website, given that it is now so large that it’s too long for email. I’m not complaining as it’s amazing to share quite so many opportunities every single week!
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.
