23 Science Writing Opportunities

In partnership with

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

23 gigs and jobs await you in this newsletter.

There is also a short feedback form to let me know if this newsletter is working for you.

Before that, a word from sponsors of this week’s edition.

Struggling to get enough eyeballs on your content?

Posting on LinkedIn or social media won't do the trick; visibility only lasts 24 hours.

But a well-written article stays relevant and accessible for YEARS.

This is how top companies consistently reinforce their expertise.

You can do the same.

Here are 3 ways to start today:

• Build your own Newsroom: Create a central news hub on your website to build trust.

• Place your brand in top tier magazines: Target industry-specific magazines to reach a larger, more relevant audience.

• Get featured in magazines for free: Increase your chances of getting noticed by journalists by publishing regularly.

Sounds like a lot of work, but not when you use Pressmaster.ai.

Create and publish valuable articles in minutes, and access top magazines for 40% less than the market average.

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 few sections of the newsletter, I thought I would share 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 $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.

It's not a subscription, no commitment, just whatever you can give now.

One Coffee, Two Coffees, Three Coffees!

A friendly reminder.

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.

That’s it for this week.

New week, new opportunities!

Keep applying. We’ve got this!
