Tuesday, August 5, 2014 - In this issue I have included 14 new freelance writing jobs. 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.
