Happy Sunday to 3,250 motivated writers 👋🏼 

I feel like I just got slapped in the face.

I just realised something huge.

We’re HALF WAY through the year! 💀 How is time flying this quickly!? Feels like we were just kicking off the year a couple months ago. 

It's probably a good time to pause and reflect. Me? I’ll be looking at this newsletter.

• What’s working well?

• What can I do better?

• How can I add more value?

If you're curious, some recent tests worked out. Doubling down on Twitter (especially threads). Cross-posting content onto Reddit (shout-out r/HireaWriter!)

Hit reply and let me know how I'm doing. I read and respond to every email! 

So, what do we have this week?

1️⃣ A free writing workshop I signed up to

2️⃣ 21 calls to pitch 📢

3️⃣ 16 writing jobs with a bunch of freelance opps

1️⃣ Resource of the week

Free writing workshop - June 16 

Remember last week’s success story? Simran landed her dream copywriting job recently. So she started off attending a bunch of free writing webinars to learn from the experts.

After hearing that story, I reached out to a friend of TWJN, Amber Petty.

Amber runs ~ f r e e ~ workshops to help writers get started and land their first by-line. The next one is on Thursday 16 June!

This is super useful for anybody who’s curious, earlier in their career or otherwise. Sign up here (it’s free!)

Now let’s get onto the opps!! ⬇️
