Freelance Writing Jobs Galore

For those of you who are ready for full-time commitments, check out mediabistro.com’s job listings. I don’t know how I have managed to miss them in my dozens of searches. You have to register to view job details but there are about 1,500 active listings there right now. 90% or more of them are full-time, at least in the first few pages. The impressive part is that you find names like McGraw Hill, Random House, The Wall Street Journal, and Scholastic on it. Talk about resume-builders!

If you’re not quite looking for the big-time yet, goldenprose.com has a lengthy list at the end of a quippy blog page. This led me to Monster.com and their list of online writing jobs. Again, most of these are for people who are able to commit some serious time and effort. There was a fantastic string from the same company, but they all required a bachelor’s degree in mass communication or some other writing-related field. My degree isn’t applicable, unfortunately.

If you’re a techy, wander over to Klariti’s list of 99 on-going tech writing freelance jobs. Most of them appear to be print or ezines. I am still not sure what the focus of the site was intended to be. There are a few interesting things available if you dig around.
