Hey!
We’re back to start your week with 65+ new pitch calls and writing jobs. Some absolutely fantastic opportunities in this latest update.
Monday is always a great day for finding new gigs. Even when posted late last week, by pitching & applying today you’ll arrive right at the top of someone’s inbox. If you’re seeking work right now, there’s no better time than right now.
And a quick note on pitching: take the time to do it properly. Editors are sharing fewer pitch calls as their inboxes are filled with AI slop and desperate writers. Taking the time to understand the outlet, create a real pitch with a compelling story, and then submit.
And use your outreach as a chance to build editor relationships! More and more often, editors are turning to freelancers they know they can trust. So be one of the freelancers they can trust!
See you again soon.
