FWN Newsletter: 60 Pitch Calls, Freelance & Remote Writing Opportunities!

23 pitch calls and 37 remote or freelance writing opportunities to check out this week.

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to the Freelance Writing Network. It’s been lovely to take a couple of weeks off completely - even if I was taken down by illness at the start of January!

We’re now completely back to normal, with 60 opportunities this week including 23 pitch calls from editors and 37 remote or freelance writing roles worldwide.

It’s a solid start to opportunities in 2025, though I’m hoping we’ll be seeing more as everyone gets back to work this January. It can sometimes be a quiet month, but I’ll be sharing with you as much as I possibly can as ever.
