Here are the top job and market websites as identified in the 25th Annual 101 Best Websites from the May/June 2023 issue of Writer's Digest.
1. FundsforWriters
For more than two decades, FundsforWriters, run by author C. Hope Clark, has been a resource for all writers looking for current paying writing opportunities, as well as updates on open competitions, grants, and information on current freelance markets.
2. Sonia Weiser’s Opportunities of the Week Newsletter
Journalist and freelance writer Sonia Weisner gathers all the paid pitching and writing opportunities open to writers each week and emails them out to her mailing list (for a suggested $4/month fee). And if you know of an outlet looking for writers, you can share that with her to get the word out.
3. The Writer’s Job Newsletter
The Writer’s Job is a free, weekly newsletter helping connect writers with the right writing jobs for them. The jobs are all paid, fully remote, and are sent to your inbox every Sunday.
4. Who Pays Writers
Run by the Freelance Solidary Project, this is a crowd-sourced (but anonymous) database of pay rates across print and digital publications, each listing displays compensation information, the format the publication is seeking, copyright information, and whether the publication contracts writers.
