🔓 70+ new paid writing gigs are live now!

Hey

We’re starting October with more than 70 new pitch calls & writing jobs for you.

This means that, in total, we’ve surpassed more than 275 paying opportunities for writers this week. That’s one of the largest roundups in a week since I started running this newsletter, almost three years ago.

I’ve said it before a few times lately, but it continues to be true. Business, brands, and media outlets need writers. They want human voices telling real stories. There are opportunities out there, and with the Freelance Writing Network you’re going to find them, regardless of the niche you’re working in.

Check out all 270 opportunities from this week right here, plus browse through hundreds of themed pitching opportunities here.
