The Writer’s Job Newsletter
The Writer’s Job Newsletter (TWJN) is a popular bi-weekly publication and curated database dedicated to helping freelance writers, journalists, and marketers find high-quality, remote employment. Founded in early 2021 and currently led by Akhil Chauhan, the newsletter scours the internet—including social media, job boards, and company websites—to aggregate paid opportunities that range from one-off pitch calls to long-term staff positions. Known for its emphasis on pay transparency, TWJN provides a “no-nonsense” look at the industry by highlighting fair rates and providing actionable resources to help writers improve their pitching and negotiation skills.
Operating on a “pro-rated” model with both free and premium tiers, the platform has grown into a significant community hub with over 15,000 subscribers. Each issue typically organizes links into three main categories: resources for craft improvement, specific calls to pitch from editors (across outlets like Slate, The Financial Times, and Morning Brew), and curated remote writing gigs. By maintaining a comprehensive historical jobs database and a library of active publications, The Writer’s Job Newsletter serves as an essential “lifeline” for freelancers looking to skip the time-consuming search process and move directly into the paid writing phase of their careers.
