Happy Tuesday, writers!
Today I’m sharing another 40+ new paid writing opportunities, spanning pitch calls, journalism, copy, content, editing, strategy, and more.
As always this Tuesday: right now is the best time to browse the list in full, pick the opps that match your skill set, and spend some time thoroughly refining the pitches and applications you send out.
Today’s top tip: even if you’re not hired for the roles on offer today, always make a note of the brands and businesses hiring writers. They’re perfect for cold pitching at some point in the future, as you already know they work with freelancers!
See you again soon.
