Dear Writers —

Here’s our latest roundup of traditional jobs for writers, editors, and journalists.

Included is a wide variety of opportunities, some from major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Self, and the Washington Post. There seem to be fewer remote opportunities than ever, unfortunately. Personally, I hope that the remote work makes a comeback, but the latest round of job openings isn’t showing that to be the current situation.

Many of these jobs pay around $70,000 US, but the salaries vary a lot, with one paying up to $250,000.
