4/25 Freelance Writing Jobs Newsletter

Hi ,

I’m back with fresh gigs and some exciting news…

An awesome FREE event is coming up for freelance writers!!

It’s no secret that the last couple of years have been tough for freelancers, especially writers. From AI hitting the scene and economic volatility to Google’s interesting choices, we’ve all had to stay on our toes.

But what’s been working for fellow freelance writers? Now you can find out by attending the Growth Without Burnout Summit!

For 4 days, from May 6 to May 9, Austin L. Church at Freelance Cake is bringing you presentations and interviews from 24 freelance writing experts who have found ways to keep growing in the recent climate without burning out. 

You’ll hear about the topics that are top of mind for freelance writers, including everything from finding clients with AI to scaling up into an agency.

I’m going to be speaking along with others you may know, like:

• Ed Gandia

• Melanie Padgett Powers

• Allison Ditmer

• Lizzie Davey

The best part? It’s totally free. 

There’s much more to share, but we have a job roundup to get to! You can find all the details below.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Have you landed a gig from this email? Reply and let me know! I’d love to hear all about it (and share your story if you’re open to it).

Reminder: If the gigs shared have posted rates, they must be above $100 per project, $25/per hour, or $0.10 per word. If you get offered less than that, please let me know. Also, gigs are vetted according to a variety of factors. For example, posters can’t ask for unpaid tests, require full-time employee hours, pay for “exposure,” or have a public history of not paying freelancers. If you encounter problems of any sort from a company shared here, please let me know and I’ll add them to my blacklist.
