Writers Unbound

And with no further ado…

1. Idealist.org is a forum and resource for non-profit organizations. They have a job board which you can search according to your criteria. This morning I found 10 results under “freelance writer” and 5 under “contract/editing and writing.” Not a lot, perhaps, but also not a really well-known site in the freelance world.
2. JournalismJobs.com is a great resource for freelance work. Under “freelance” keyword search today, I found 78 offers.
3. Berkeley’s Journalism Jobs page is also a great resource. You’ll find some repeats here, but it’s worth scrolling through.
4. Writerfind.com offers a job board and a place to list your profile.
5. Creative Hotlist. 20 or so opportunities under Writer or Writing.
6. Indeed.com pulls from a large database of classifieds, sites, etc. to list job opportunities. You’ll find some repeats from other pages, sure, but there are also lots of more obscure sources that you might not have seen.
7. FreelanceWriting.com offers this Magazine Guideline Database. Great resource.
8. Allena at About.com’s Guide to Freelance Writing offers a thorough list of Where to Find Freelance Jobs and Resources. Very helpful.
9. Freelance Writing Jobs is my favorite. I started watching this list first, and I got this gig at 451Press through the site. Job listings every weekday, plus lots of helpful articles.
10. FictionFanatic.com offers a job board with listings for “Fiction Writers, StoryTellers, and Poets.” Updated twice daily…
11. Performancing.com and BloggerJobs are sister sites; you might see some overlap, but they are worth checking regularly.
12. The Yahoo Job Directory is big. Check various topics, like Literature and Creative Writing Jobs as well as Freelance Writing Jobs.
13. Check The Burry Man Writers Center for links to lots of different sites and job opportunities.
