Freelance Writing Jobs: the April round-up
Writing awards, bursaries and residencies with upcoming deadlines.
Hello! How are you doing today? I’m delivering your round-up issue earlier than usual so it doesn’t land on Easter Sunday and get in the way of your chocolate eggs. This is always my favourite issue to send each month – seeing dozens of possibilities in black and white makes me so excited for the different directions that writing can take us. Today’s issue has opportunities that might send you all over the world. Here’s to taking a chance and shooting for something new.
"A career-changing book... if you're thinking about going freelance, read this first," says GQ’s Oliver Franklin-Wallis.
My book The Pyjama Myth: the Freelance Writer's Survival Guide will make you a better, happier freelancer and you can order your copy from Bookshop.
