Happy Sunday to 4,437 motivated writers 👋🏼 

How’s everyone doing? So, last week was a big week for writers.

This is a big week for opportunities!! 

I can’t remember the last time we put out over 30 calls to pitch! Plus a bunch of freelance, contract, and full-time writing gigs. You're in for a treat.

I’ll keep it light up top. We’re heading off to this music festival today (Austin City Limits, if you’re curious) and I need to start getting ready!

One quick note: I appreciate you all! I’ve loved getting to know some of you over the last few months. Don’t be a stranger. Hit reply and say hello 😊

Okay, now let’s get to it! ⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ Resource of the week

Free webinar: tips to get published from Washington Post Editor

By now, you all know I’m a sucker for a good freebie. And this free webinar from NYU feels like it was made just for us.

It’s an open discussion between Allison Klein and Estelle Erasmus about how to get pitches published. These two know a thing or two about getting published

I always find it so useful to hear this type of thing directly from the editors. They’re the ones making decisions about what to include.

When: Thursday Oct 27 at 12:30PM ET

Check it out here (it's free!)

2️⃣ Calls to Pitch

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
