Thursday, February 12, 2015 - Tuesday evening I posted a new issue of FreelanceWriting.com's eNewsletter for Writers and Poets. It contains links to new articles we have published at our site, a handful of new writing and poetry contests, writer's guidelines of magazines that pay writers for articles, and several special editorial announcements. You can read the issue here: https://madmimi.com/s/954ed5
This issue of Morning Coffee eNewsletter includes jobs from yesterday evening and early this morning.
The usual statement: Although I do my best to screen each job for quality and legitimacy, I still encourage writers to do their own due diligence and research the company, publisher, or job poster who is offering the paid work (especially with CraigsList ads). Since this is a private emailing to my subscribers only, please do not repost this digest online. Okay to CC to a friend or colleague or tell them to visit our Online Writing Jobs section. Thank you.
