Welcome to this week’s edition of The Science Freelancer.

19 gigs and jobs await you in this newsletter.

Many thanks to Nandita J for buying me a coffee last week.

Now onto the gigs!

I include many full-time gigs and some roles that are not directly related to writing because these are opportunities for growth.

You may not be able to apply to these opportunities today but look for skills that are in demand and what you can learn to get there.

I am sure you’d learn something new if the job paid $150k-$250k a year.

Type of Gigs this week

  • Navneet A is looking for writers with experience in crafting manuscripts in pharma, biotech and life sciences fields Email

Pitch call

This newsletter intends to be a large, free-to-all community, with gigs going out once every weekend. But it needs a bit of support to get there.

Last month, I shared my target for 2024 in this post.

Here’s the split up of revenue so far

Coffees bought: $57

Ad earnings: $188

Sponsorship: $28

So, we are still $282 away from the target (not even the halfway mark), and we have only one more edition to go after this.

The year is coming to an end, and I need a Christmas Miracle

Many survey respondents suggested that they would click the ads. If all subscribers clicked on the following ad, we could reach the target today.

Do your part.
