Science Writing Opportuinities

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

16 gigs and jobs await you in this newsletter.

But a friendly reminder first.

Each freelancer is unique and works differently. Some opportunities in this edition may not work for you, but they could be a perfect fit for another freelancer.

So, if you see a gig that is right up someone else’s alley, send this newsletter to your freelancer friend and earn some brownie points.

The Share Button is at the bottom of the newsletter.

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.

Before we head to the last section of the newsletter, thought of sharing how I plan to run this newsletter in the future. 

Most newsletters usually hide opportunities behind a paywall, which can really hurt freelancers when the chips are down. Paying $5 or $8 a month, just to get a glimpse of an opportunity does not seem fair.

So, I want to run The Science Freelancer on a “Pass-it-On“ model, where freelancers who are doing well chip in. This month, it could be someone else, next month, it could be you.

Not a subscription, no commitment, just whatever you can give now.

One Coffee, Two Coffees or None at all!
