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, 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.

PS I took a day off this week for a 4-mile hike to this spot. It was not awful 🙃. Gotta love a bit of schedule flexibility!
