Before, we proceed, a word from one of the sponsors of this week’s edition

Never lose any work samples work again

Imagine losing years of articles because a site shut down. What would you do if all your work samples disappeared?

With Authory, that’s a nightmare you’ll never have to face. Authory automatically creates a portfolio that backs up everything you’ve ever written and will write, so your work is always safe.

That’s right: Authory finds and backs up all your past work and saves every new piece you publish, no matter where.

Join thousands of writers who already trust Authory to protect their work and never lose a piece again.

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.
