✍️ Calling all Writers! ✍️

I’m looking to connect with talented writers who are authorized to work in the U.S. and are excited about the construction industry.

Builder Funnel is scaling our content in a big way. We're starting with flexible freelance opportunities, with the potential to scale into full-time Content Writer and Digital Marketing Specialist roles in the coming months and years.

What we’re looking for in writing samples:
✅ Specific to the construction industry (home building, remodeling, design, contractor, trades etc.)
✅ Strong in AIO (AI + human optimized) writing
✅ Demonstrates SEO knowledge
✅ Tells a compelling story

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please send me your writing samples here on LinkedIn. I’d love to see your work and connect!

This is my regular callout for pitches for the Globe and Mail's business opinion section. Pitch me at elou@globeandmail.com. For reference, these are the pieces that have run in my section: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/commentary/

Journalists, please pitch me! I edit mind & brain news at @sciam.bsky.social and I'm looking for psychology and neuroscience stories. I'm especially interested in consciousness science and linguistics. Guidelines and contact info: https://www.scientificamerican.com/page/submission-instructions/

We’re delighted to announce that we’re open to Inklings submissions from 1st to 31st August.

The Inklings is a series of pocket-sized pop culture books that introduce readers to a wide range of topics they might only have an inkling about! You can see examples on our dedicated Inklings page.

We are looking for compelling narrative non-fiction, with writers able to present topics they are close to or have a special interest in, whether professionally or personally. We are open to anyone who has something fresh and interesting to say or share, and who can write with impact and communicate their perspective clearly. We’re looking for books that marry deeply personal writing with cutting-edge cultural analysis.

We are interested in seeing pitches that address culture and its impact; individual cultural figures from a new perspective; social issues; expressions of identity; and the climate crisis and environmental issues.

We especially encourage submissions from writers of colour; writers who identify as queer; disabled and neurodivergent writers; writers from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds and those from other marginalised groups.

Since the workload isn’t getting any lighter, I would like to extend an occasional invitation and/or plea to you to take some of it on: If there is a case you want to unpack, a trend you want to highlight, a nominee you want to scrutinize, or just something happening in the law-adjacent world that makes you upset, you can send Balls & Strikes your pitches anytime at—you’ll want to write this down, it’s complicated—pitches@ballsandstrikes.org. You can find more detailed submissions guidelines here, but I will spoil the most important part: For essays of about 1,000 words, we typically pay $500. Why go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this summer when you can get paid to write about the worst people on earth instead?

📣 Call for Pitches: “The Moment I Knew I Had to Make Writing My Job”

💰 $1/word | 500 words | Published on the GuestStack column here at ✍️ Make Writing Your Job

You know the moment.

Maybe it was staring down your 86th rejected job application.

Maybe it was your boss calling you “chatty” in a Zoom performance review.

Maybe it was after your first paid piece — $200 to write about composting toilets, and suddenly? You believed.

We’re looking for personal essays about that electric, uncomfortable, defiant, or joyful moment when you realized:

I’m not doing this anymore. I’m going to be a writer.

Whether you’ve built a six-figure freelance business or are still chasing your first byline, we want the real story of how you crossed the threshold. Not the polished version — the messy, mundane, magnificent truth.

What we want:

• Pitches for personal essays (that upon selection, the chosen writer will write a 500-word essay) with voice, insight, and tension

• Stories rooted in your writing or freelancing life

• A-ha moments that feel universal and yet intensely personal (specific details > vague platitudes)

• Pieces that teach us something, not just tell us something

What we pay:

💸 $500 flat ($1/word for 500 words)

✨ PLUS: Publication to an audience of 9,000+ subscribers here on ✍️ Make Writing Your Job.

Paying contributors is important to us. We value your work and do our best to reduce financial barriers to submitting. Having said that, SAD is a volunteer-run nonprofit and much of our budget is grant-dependent. As such, our rates tend to fluctuate. Depending on the word length, writing submissions for each print issue will range from $100-300, and depending on the size and placement, art submissions will range from $70-500. For web submissions, see details below.
