Dear Writers,

During these difficult times, there are still job opportunities out there for writers. This week, we’ve found 19 companies hiring writers.

If you’re looking to build your resume before applying to a traditional writing job, one of the best things you can do is build a publication record, ideally a paid publication record as a freelance writer.

Here’s the big news: Writing Launch is giving away a free month of membership starting on Thursday. They offer training courses that help you get published and paid as a freelance writer. If you want to take advantage of this, I encourage you to sign up for this free webinar. You can also sign up for the waiting list here.

In the meantime, here are this week’s job listings, as researched by Fatima Saif.
