Write At Home

Hello, and welcome to the third outing of Write At Home - a weekly no-
nonsense newsletter rounding up the UK's best freelance journalist and
writer jobs. Past editions can be found here.

Below, you'll find three simple categories: Freelance journalist calls-for-

pitches; Permanent(ish) / on-going journalist jobs; Content writer /
copywriter positions.

There's a few paragraphs about me and other stuff at the end, including a
poll on whether this should be a bi-weekly publication - but before that, well
over a hundred opportunities for your perusing pleasure:

Wednesdays AND Sundays?

I've been wondering whether people would prefer a bi-weekly newsletter

(Wednesdays as well as Sundays) rather than just once a week. Put me
out of my misery - vote here. Thanks!

A bit about me

My name's Alasdair and I'm a UK-based freelance journalist and writer. I've
spent years trawling through job sites and social media looking for work...
and now, every Sunday, I'm doing it for you too.

Write At Home is a curated list, one that highlights the best roles - and
weeds out the rubbish. Pay is a major factor in whether an opportunity gets
featured, though you will find a few not-so-well remunerated gigs if I think
they're interesting enough.

Likewise, jobs that don't offer a remote working option are generally
discarded, bar those which seem particularly appealing (in which case the
location will be shown in brackets).

Please share!

I hope Write At Home is a handy resource. If you think it is, please share
with your writer and journalist pals. They can sign using this link, or via the
website.

Feedback and tips are also very welcome - drop me a line at

writeathomeuk@gmail.com, or hit me up on Twitter.
All the best,

Alasdair
