Happy Thursday to all you writers & creatives 👋
ICYMI, this is the last week 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 The Detail, MIT Technology Review, The Latino Newsletter, Sports Illustrated, The LA Times, Vox, Inverse and many more. If an opportunity or two catches your eye here, upgrade to a premium subscription for 25% off to access today’s full list with 25 more writing gigs.
If you missed the last newsletter with over 40 writing opportunities from The Kitchn, Matador, TIME, The Juggernaut, GamesRadar+, Variety, Liberal Currents, SoFi, Apartment Therapy and tons more, check it out here.
