A Bunch of Paid Writing Opportunities, Week #25

This one is free for everyone!

Hi again!

In honor of the special 25th week, I’ve decided to make today’s newsletter free for all :) If you like what you see and want it every week, you can get the paid subscription by clicking one of the buttons throughout the email (but no pressure!). It looks like this:

Also, this week’s newsletter happens to be especially long, so I’m going to skip this free section and also remind you to click the link at the bottom that allows you to see this entire newsletter if it doesn’t all show! (I forget what it says exactly, haha.)

P.S. If you get one of these jobs or your pitch is accepted, let me know!
