July 21, 2023 Freelance Opportunities!

Jul 21, 2023

If you’re here, you’re looking for work. I’ve heard about layoffs this week at Hearst, Chicago Review Press, and the shuttering of Inkyard Press. I've also heard from many freelancers that this year has been hard. Please feel free to share this resource with its 100 opportunities widely. 

Beyond my weekly list, I recommend these job boards, newsletters, and my course on finding freelance work on Slack, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Looking for last week’s newsletter?
