Writers! Here’s our latest roundup of opportunities to get paid to write. We’ve included calls for pitches directly from editors, and traditional jobs for writers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before pitching an editor, make sure you have a clear understanding of their needs, in addition to a clear understanding of their publication’s style, past content, and structure. Once you’ve done this groundwork, it’s time to come up with your article idea, and then send them a short email (a pitch), describing your idea, and why you’re a good fit to write it. Pitching articles is very different than applying for a job, which involves a cover letter and a resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
