FWN Newsletter: 52 Pitch Calls, Freelance & Remote Writing Opportunities!

20 pitch calls from editors and 32 remote or freelance writing opportunities to check out!

Hello!

Welcome as always to the weekly newsletter. There’s a small change to the layout of the newsletter moving forward. The pitch section will remain as it is but I’ve now improved the job opportunities section by splitting it into two sections, North America and Worldwide.

I appreciate that, while not always the case, often the job listings (less so pitch calls) are looking for writers based in that specific location. This means it will be easier to find the opportunities that are relevant to your particular location moving forward.

There are a whopping 52 opportunities to check out this week, with tons of great pitch calls plus freelance and remote writing roles across the globe!

Have you ever wanted to read the classics but don’t know where to start? If that’s so, you might like to check out The Classical Book Club on Substack, a new online community that will explore 10-12 classic novels a year.

It’s free and comes with absolutely no pressure to read every book. You can dip in and out as much as you like. You’ll also be with people in a similar position as we discuss and break down classic novels together to make them more accessible.
