Need a writing job? Are you a little tired of turning out articles for the same old sites day in and day out? Well, then you definitely need to find a listing of current writing jobs. When you daily check the writing job sites, you may be able to find something a little more creative than what you are doing now. I have ventured from article writing to partake in book reviewing, television recap writing, and keyword article writing. Expanding your writing horizon will not only give you a better looking resume, but it will also help you to keep fresh and not get bored. You can expect to find jobs like ghostwriting, grant writing, e-book writing, and article writing in a different field than you are use to. You may also find some fun writing positions under blog writing and review writing.

Before You Look: There are two things that every freelance writer should be cautious of before they go in search of writing jobs online. The first is that you should not pay for listings. The only exception if it is from a trustworthy site such as Writersdigest.com and the price is yearly. Paying a set fee every month when you are not guaranteed to find work is a foolish move of any writer. People should be paying you to write. I think there are enough listings to find writing jobs online without having to pay a single dime. The second thing you should beware of is bad listings. Usually these writing jobs are posted on sites that anyone can post on. Even though the site is trustworthy and tries its best to keep out bad ads, there still are some. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true or does not have detailed information or a website, an eyebrow should be raised. The best writing jobs to apply for are ones that offer background information about their company, offer thorough information about what kind of writer they need, and then add a site to check or an email to reach them at.

Hey George, We're not all as "privledged" as you are but we work hard at our writing. Ashley, why on earth would YOU feel sorry that George feels like you're not an established writer? The operative word here is feel. You don't need to be sorry about anything you do. George, apparently doesn't have anything better to do except bash other peoples writing and more than likely it is because he can't write himself and he is a coward, he doesn't seem to have a place here to judge anyone. People like that really irk me because they hide behind a mystical shroud of thier own low self worth and like to bring others down. Ashey, I read some of your work and I think you're a great writer. Don't let others bring you down. You're all right in our book. Peace and Love PS. George...Get a life or go jump off a bridge.

Well, good for you George. I prefer to write for people and just get paid. I do not need to pay a middle man like you. I'm sorry that you feel like I am not an established writer.

Writing is a business. Businesses put their money to work for them to make more of the green stuff. To make a carte blanche statment that paying a fee to write is foolish shows you've not established yourself as a writer. Finding clients to write for whether online or hard copy gigs takes time, marketing savvy, and yes... money. You're not paying for the priviledge to write... you're paying someone else to find clients for you, freeing up a bit more of your time to do what you love, write. As for me it's well-worth the money.
