Happy Sunday to 3,945 motivated writers 👋🏼 

How’s everyone doing? I’m going great... but a little tried!

Immediate reaction to Austin: it’s hot as hell and the people are great (like super nice). The food is sweet too! Also, Austin is an hour further back than Toronto.. so sorry if this comes out a little later wherever you are.

Thank you for all the kind wishes (and recommendations!) 😊

Still finding my feet here (and need to jet off to IKEA in a min) but I'm loving it!so I’ll keep it short up top again.Let’s dig in!

1️⃣ Resource of the week

Awesome city guides for remote workers

Nurall writes these city guides for remote workers, which I’ve been loving to help get around Austin over the last week!

I know this isn't the most writing-focused. But as freelancers, many of us have a lot of flexibility in where we work (especially in a remote-first world!)

Love seeing little guides like this. The future of work is here!

We’ve actually featured some calls to pitch from these folks in the past (most recently in TWJN 75) 

See if there’s one for your fav city here!

I try to ensure these are well-paid. If not, they’re usually helpful in some other way. We range from new writers to those more established, so keep a like to share range of opportunities too
