💼 FAQs
Q: Can I post a job to your writing job board?
A: Yes! If you’re hiring freelance writers, ghostwriters, editors, copywriters, content writers, script writers, or writing coaches, you can submit your job listing here. It’s free, and you’ll reach a talented community of 12,000+ writers.
Q: How do I access the writing job board?
A: The writing job board is available to paid Core Members and Founding Members.
It’s updated every weekday (5x/week) with curated, high-paying freelance and ghostwriting opportunities. Because each listing is carefully vetted by our team, access is behind a paywall.
Q: What kinds of writing jobs do you feature?
A: The job board includes freelance, part-time, and contract roles — including ghostwriting, copywriting, content strategy, creative writing, editing, and grant writing. You’ll also find pitch calls, writing contests, fellowships, and scholarships. We focus on quality over quantity — every job is hand-picked for relevance, pay, and creative potential.
Q: Are the writing jobs open to international freelancers?
A: While many listings are U.S.-based, most are open to international writers — especially those offering remote flexibility. If you’re outside the U.S., you’ll still find plenty of global, remote-friendly opportunities worth applying for.
Q: I’m a writer in need. Do you offer scholarships?
A: Yes! Through our Write It Forward program, Founding Members sponsor paid annual subscriptions for writers who need a financial lift. Apply here to join the scholarship waitlist — spots are granted on a rolling basis as Founding contributions grow.
Q: What’s a “Featured Job”?
A: Featured Jobs are exclusive listings submitted directly by clients looking to hire from our community. They often offer better pay, more creative freedom, and are rarely posted elsewhere.
Founding Members get a 24-hour head start — early access often means first in line for the best gigs.
📝 GuestStack Submission FAQs
Q: What is GuestStack?
A: GuestStack is my curated column of essays, articles, and poetry from talented writers. As a contributor, your work is featured in front of 12,000+ subscribers — with links to your newsletter, books, or website to help grow your audience and visibility.
Q: How can I submit to GuestStack?
A: We share pitch calls on the writing job board. Each call includes a form with specific guidelines. Please note: we don’t accept general submissions or pitches via email — this helps us stay organized and keep the editorial process smooth for everyone! :)
Q: Do you accept completed pieces?
A: No — GuestStack is pitch-based. We commission selected ideas and work closely with writers during the editorial process.
Q: What happens if my pitch is accepted?
A: You’ll receive paperwork and onboarding details. Once your piece is turned in, I’ll give notes (if needed), and we’ll polish it together before it’s published.
Q: Is there a kill fee if my piece isn’t published?
A: Yes — you’ll still be paid 100% of the agreed-upon fee as long as the piece was delivered on time and per the pitch agreement.
Q: Can I republish my piece elsewhere?
A: No — all GuestStack pieces are “work-for-hire,” so rights remain with Make Writing Your Job.
