Happy Monday to all you writers & creatives 👋
ICYMI, this is the absolute last week that I’m running our New Year TWJN offer where you can snag 25% off a premium subscription 🚨
Start the new year off right by gifting yourself (or a friend 🤝) access to 80+ opportunities per week — sent straight to your inbox. Don’t waste your time endlessly scrolling the internet for pitch calls, writing opportunities, and job postings. Upgrade to TWJN Pro to save hours of your time (and a lot of your sanity), so you can focus on making money by actually writing.
I spend hours every week screening, vetting, and curating these pitch calls and writing gigs, so you don’t have to! In addition to the biweekly newsletters, you’ll also receive access to our exclusive Pitch Call Database with over 1,400 writing opportunities (and counting!). On the hunt for even more places to look for work? I got you! Premium subscribers have full access to check out all of our previous editions in the archives.
This issue has pitch calls, writing opportunities, and media jobs from Eaten, Current Affairs, Financial Times, Metro, People, Bolts, The Athletic, Mothership, SFGATE and tons more. If you see an opportunity or two here that fits what you’re looking for, upgrade to a premium subscription for 25% off to access today’s full list with 35 more writing gigs. Don’t miss out! Discount is only on until the end of January ⏰
If you missed the last newsletter with writing opportunities from The Detail, MIT Technology Review, The Latino Newsletter, Sports Illustrated, The LA Times, Vox, Inverse and many more, check it out here.
Get paid $1,500 to tell a two-page story?
Did you know… There’s a little-known way to get paid amazingly well to tell a unique kind of story? It’s only 2 pages at most. Thousands of companies are paying writers $1,500 on average to write it for them.
It’s all detailed in a short guide you can download immediately.
