Hello!
Welcome to the latest edition of the Freelance Writing Network Newsletter.
As ever, if you’re reading the free version of this newsletter on a Wednesday, you can get access to a whole load of extra Premium Opportunities, as well as this newsletter 24 hours early every Tuesday, by upgrading your subscription.
I’m also aware that it’s been over a month since the last FWNN round-up of other writing opportunities, such as bursaries, retreats, prizes, fiction submissions and more. I wanted to adjust the dates slightly so that it comes out early each month, as opposed to at the end. Expect this round-up within the next week or so!
Anyway, on with the pitches for this week. 41 in total for you to check out!
