FWN Newsletter: 45 Pitch Calls, Freelance & Remote Writing Opportunities!

22 opportunities to pitch to editors and 23 remote or freelance writing opportunities for writers to check out this week.

Hello!

Couple quick bits of info for you before this week’s newsletter.

• I will be on holiday (thank goodness) from the 9th to the 18th of September, so there won’t be an ordinary newsletter next week.

• I will be updating the Early Bird Opportunities thread in the Substack chat feature. Last week there were 20 of these and 22 the week before that, so there’ll still be plenty of pitch calls and work for you to check out.

• The week afterwards you’ll receive the newsletter either on the Wednesday or Thursday, still 24 hours ahead of free subscribers. I just won’t be around to put it together on the Tuesday!

Anyway, on with this week’s opportunities! 44 in total for you to check out.
