Writing Jobs, March 14, 2018

There isn’t a coffee mug big enough for the first few days after the start of daylight saving time. Getting up at WTF o’clock has been especially hard this week. Let’s see if today’s list of paid writing opportunities can help perk things up around here!

As always, there are remote / online writing jobs open to writers anywhere in the world and a few awesome in-house Canadian writing jobs for my fellow country peeps. I’ve also included a couple of calls for submissions for authors of short fiction and poetry.

If you see an opportunity that interests you, please make sure to click through to the full job posting and read the entire posting before you apply to make sure it’s a good fit for your skills. I try to include as many freelance writing jobs for beginners as I can, but regardless of your experience level, sending a well-crafted application/submission that shows you took the time to read and understand the listing is always a good idea.

Good luck!
