A Bunch of Paid Writing Opportunities, Week #102

Plus reminders on writing about marginalized groups

Hi & happy Monday!

Today I want to amplify this great post called “when writing about marginalized groups.” Below is the concluding paragraph which sums it up well (but be sure to read the whole thing, if you’re a part of a majority group, or you’ll miss a lot of important details!)

use diversity in your writing. no one is saying that you shouldn’t. representation matters in all ways, shapes, and forms. but don’t write things that aren’t for you to write. listen when people in those groups tell you you’re doing wrong. educate yourself. understand when something isn’t yours to explore and understand why. educate other people, too. we’re all working to get better, so continue to better yourself.

I think this is important for all writers to keep in mind, not just fiction writers.

Now, onto the writing jobs and pitch calls for paid subscribers!

(Free subscribers: Want to see that content or make sure it’s worth it before purchasing? Here’s an old example of what you’ll get each week. On average, I include about 20-30 paid opps including a variety of beats, years of experience, types of writing, etc.)
