Here’s our latest roundup of traditional jobs for writers, editors, and copywriters.
I’ve put (in my opinion), the most interesting and fun sounding job at the top of the list. It’s to be a video game writer — to develop the story for the next Star Wars Jedi video game. How cool is that?
That job aside, most of these jobs are journalism related, whether as a reporter or an editor. There are also a few copywriting/content marketing jobs listed here, as well.
Salaries vary wide, from around $50,000 up to $175,000.
Several of these are remote opportunities.
