Write At Home #271

Hello! Welcome to Write At Home, a comprehensive round-up of the best journalist and writer jobs on offer.

The newsletter's free edition, which you’re currently reading, is only published when sponsored content is secured, and only includes job openings advertised within the last three days.

If you would like guaranteed access to the entire week’s listings (and have access to back issues), you can subscribe to the bi-weekly newsletter for just ~85¢ / 70p a week.

Below you’ll find dozens of the most recent gigs divided up into three simple categories:

- Freelance journalist calls-for-pitches

- Permanent(ish) / ongoing journalist jobs

- Content writer / copywriter / blogger opportunities

Unless otherwise stated, all are home-based or have a remote working option.

Good luck!

N.B. I’m going to be experimenting with new subscription structures and newsletter platforms over the coming weeks, so please bear with me if there are any mishaps!

Feedback welcome!

My name's Alasdair and I'm a freelance journalist and writer. I've spent years trawling through job sites and social media looking for work... and now, every Wednesday and Sunday, I'm doing it for you too.

Write At Home is a curated list, one that highlights the best roles, and weeds out the rubbish. Pay is a major factor in whether an opportunity gets featured, though you will find a few not-so-well remunerated gigs if I think they're interesting enough.

Likewise, jobs that don't offer a remote working option are generally discarded, bar those which seem particularly appealing (in which case the location will be shown in brackets).

This methodology is a work in progress – please get in touch via email ([email protected]) or Twitter if you have any suggestions or feedback!

If you’d like guaranteed access to twice as many jobs each week – and have access to back issues – you can subscribe to the bi-weekly newsletter for just 85¢ / 70p.

I hope Write At Home is a handy resource. If you think it is, please share with your writer and journalist pals. They can sign up here.

All the best,

Alasdair
