Freelance Writing Jobs: the monthly round-up
All the upcoming deadlines you need to know about.
Hello! I hope you’re having an excellent weekend. I’m halfway through my Cromarty Arts Trust residency in Scotland – knee-deep in my novel draft and baked potatoes (here’s how you can apply for your own, BYO potatoes). Just a quick reminder, there isn’t an issue next week, look forward to a bumper issue the week after.
There are 29 opportunities in today’s monthly round-up, covering grants, bursaries, awards (so many awards this month, those for non-fiction towards the end of the email), and residencies with upcoming deadlines. I hope they lead to something 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.
