Freelance Writing Jobs: the monthly round-up
All the upcoming deadlines you need to know about.
Hello! I hope you’re having a brilliant weekend. This is the first monthly issue of Freelance Writing Jobs! Each month you’ll find details of prizes, grants, bursaries and residencies with upcoming deadlines (but still with enough time to edit and polish!) These are the sort of opportunities that can change writing lives – there are over thirty in this issue – and I hope they lead to something truly wonderful for you.
"A career-changing book... if you're thinking about going freelance, read this first," says Oliver Franklin-Wallis.
My book The Pyjama Myth: the Freelance Writer's Survival Guide is the ideal way to start your new year. It will make you a better, happier freelancer and you can order your copy from Bookshop or directly from Unbound.
