Dear Writers,

Here’s our latest roundup of traditional jobs for writers.

This week we’ve found job listings from major companies and publishers, including Facebook, Starbucks, CNET, Forbes, and Lyft.

We’ve noted where these jobs are located, and, when applicable, whether they are remote.

I’ve noticed that many of these jobs for for “newsletter” editors; it seems that major publications are starting to take email newsletters seriously. This is a trend that I’ve long expected, and expect it to continue to grow moving forward.
