Freelance Writing Jobs: the monthly round-up
All the upcoming deadlines you need to know about.
Hello! How are you doing today? I had actually anticipated that the monthly round-up would be quieter over summer, but that’s definitely not the case in this issue. There are sixteen opportunities closing on 31st July and a dozen more besides. I hope you find something wonderful among them, and check out the ever-growing list of ongoing funding and grants. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
"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.
