Happy Thursday to all you writers & creatives 👋
Hello writers! How’s everyone doing today?
This issue has 65 writing opportunities from Mother Jones, The Verge, Serious Eats, Extra Points, NPR, Observer, Remezcla, New Scientist, NYLON and so many more. We have tons of pitch calls and writing opportunities in this one, so buckle up and check ‘em out below!
Every week I spend hours on end searching all over for these opportunities. After doing this day in and day out for the last 4 years, I’ve gotten pretty good at sorting through all the scammy job listings and unpaid opportunities so you don’t have to!
I handpick the best opportunities from hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of sites and also include exclusive pitch calls and roles that editors and recruiters share with me. Save your time, energy, and sanity. Upgrade to a premium subscription to see this curated list of the best writing gigs, pitch calls, and media jobs.
Make sure to follow TWJN on Twitter, LinkedIn, & Bluesky to see opportunities shared throughout the week 🔔
