Feedback welcome!
My name's Alasdair and I'm a UK-based freelance journalist and writer. I've spent years trawling through job sites and social media looking for work... and now, every Wednesday and Sunday, I'm doing it for you too.
Write At Home is a curated list, one that highlights the best roles, and weeds out the rubbish. Pay is a major factor in whether an opportunity gets featured, though you will find a few not-so-well remunerated gigs if I think they're interesting enough.
Likewise, jobs that don't offer a remote working option are generally discarded, bar those which seem particularly appealing (in which case the location will be shown in brackets).
This methodology is a work in progress – please get in touch via email (writeathomeuk@gmail.com) or Twitter if you have any suggestions or feedback.
Please share!
I hope Write At Home is a handy resource. If you think it is, please share with your writer and journalist pals. They can sign up for a 1-month free trial here.
All the best,
Alasdair
