Happy Monday to all you writers & creatives 👋
How is everyone today?
This week, we have 54 writing opportunities from New Lines Magazine, Esquire, Bloomberg, NPR, Bolts, The New Republic, ESPN and loads more. Today’s newsletter includes pitch calls paying up to $800, contract roles paying up to $62 per hour, and full-time positions paying more than $200k!
It’s a pretty long issue today! Be sure to click on the “View entire message” button if you’re reading the newsletter on Gmail as they always clip the email. In particular, there are loads of New York-based full-time roles 👇
Every week I spend hours on end searching high and low for these opportunities. After doing this on repeat for the last 4 years, I’ve gotten pretty good at sorting through all the rubbish and scammy job listings so you don’t have to!
Save your time, energy, and sanity. Upgrade to a premium subscription to see this curated list of the best writing jobs and pitch calls.
