50 Places for Freelance Writers to Pitch Today
Break out your best ideas and score new business!
I am hoping that this newsletter will be helpful for people to find work in all kinds of creative fields, but a lot of my first week subscribers are also freelance writers (thank you!), so I’ve put this resource together with you in mind! Today I am sharing 50 solid media outlets that have offered up their submission guidelines online in order to take the guesswork out of your cold pitches.
I am always inspired to try and broaden my client base and my beats when I see link roundups like this — and sometimes it works! — but these articles can get outdated quickly. Luckily, quite a few of these links are new, and I’ve noted some of the oldest ones — if you pitch those and there are specific editor contacts in them, be sure and Google to see if they’re still working there.
I wish everyone the best luck pitching, and please let me know if you end up landing an assignment as a result of these leads so that we can celebrate you! I know I am going to try pitching some of the spots highlighted here and see what sparks. Please consider forwarding this to friends who can use this info.

Happy writing!
