Science Writing Opportunities

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

Why a newsletter?

Finding freelancing science gigs is hard and also depends on how wide your network is.

Building a network is time-consuming, and as a freelancer looking to make some money, one does not have the luxury of time.

The Science Freelancer hopes to solve this conundrum by bringing the gigs to your inbox, saving you tons of time. No need to browse boards or doom-scroll social media for suitable gigs.

Spend your time doing what you do best, writing and communicating science.

If you have your hands full at the moment, send this newsletter to your freelancer friend who might be looking for an opportunity and earn some brownie points.

Let’s get straight to the gigs. Since freelancers do not have the same needs and are at different career levels, we have a mixed bag of opportunities here.
