Freelance Writing Opportunities — Call for Submissions and Call For Pitches

Freelance Writing — 48 Writing Calls For Submissions (as of 04/04/22) — Paid Writing Opportunities For Nonfiction, Journalism, Art, Poetry, and Fiction

Here are the latest calls for submission, pitches, and expiring writing opportunities.

Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash

Welcome to this week’s roundup of writing calls for pitches and submissions. This week I have 48 different publications and websites currently looking for writers. These could be magazines that recently opened their submissions up, fast-approaching deadlines, shout out from editors looking for something specific right now, or just reminders that they are always open for pitches.

I cover all kinds of writing opportunities. These markets could be fiction, nonfiction, reported pieces, or poetry. Sometimes, these markets are also looking for artwork or photography.

All 48 markets in this article pay their contributors. A good portion of them either pay more than $100.00 minimum, or writers have the potential to make at least $100.00. Although, I do include some lower-paying opportunities as well.

Each of the freelance writing listings in this article will contain the following:

  • The name of the publication, anthology, or contest.
  • Some way to contact them (at least one of the following — a link to their published guidelines, Twitter handle, or email address).
  • What type of writing they are looking for.
  • How much they pay.
  • Deadline, if any.

I am now including opportunities that I have mentioned before, and the deadline is within 7–13 days which I published the article.

When you scroll through these listings, you may notice this:

**UPCOMING DEADLINE**

That is how I am indicating that less than 2 weeks are left on that writing opportunity!

Good luck finding the perfect writing market for your nonfiction, fiction, and poetry!

**NEW PUBLICATION**

Details/Website

Looking For: Nonfiction

Payment: $100.00

Deadline: Ongoing

Jamie Ditatanto tweeted a call for pitches. Although Jamie is a travel journalist for multiple different publications (national geographic, travel and leisure, cn traveler, trip savvy, etc.), this is actually a call for pitches for a soon-to-be-launched publication. This upcoming publication will, in part, be about how remote workers plan workcations.

Pay varies depending on article length, scope, etc., but it is listed as starting at $100.00 for 500 words. Email your pitches to [email protected].

**UPCOMING DEADLINE**

Apparition Lit

Details/Website

Looking For: Flash Fiction Contest

Payment: $30.00

Deadline: Opens 04/01, Closes 04/14

Every month between the 1st and the 14th of the month, Apparition Lit has a flash fiction contest. They are looking for flash speculative fiction stories that are 1,000 words or less. These stories must be unpublished and inspired by a monthly photography prompt. The winner will receive $30.00.

**UPCOMING DEADLINE**

Arablit & Arablit Quarterly — Theme — The Joke

Details/Website

Looking For: Fiction, nonfiction, and Poetry

Payment: $20.00 / Page

Deadline: April 15

Arablit & Arablit Quarterly is taking submissions and pitches for an upcoming themes addition — the joke. The joke can be a joke, a meme, or even a person who is a joke. Payment is $20.00 a page. They are looking for the following:

  • Poetry
  • Short Stories with a Joke Element
  • Translations
  • Essays
  • Interviews
  • Food Features
  • Short Comics
  • Dictionary Features

Auroras and Blossoms

Details/Website

Looking For: Fiction, Nonfiction, and Art

Payment: Royalties (1% per accepted piece)

Deadline: December 31

This publication was brought to my attention by fellow Mediumier (sorry for the made-up word), Cendrine Marrouat. Cendrine is one of the co-founders of Auroras and Blossoms — and as a good writing community, I feel like we should be supporting one another, especially when it comes to publications. There is a submission fee of $12.00 for entry, but that covers 3 entries.

What you would be submitting for is PoArtMo Anthology: Volume 3. PoArtMo stands for Positive Actions Rally Thoughts & Momentum. The work that you will submit will be positive and uplifting, family-friendly, only have clean language, and be inclusive and respectful to everyone.

They do not take poetry, simultaneous submissions, or previously published work. However, they are looking for short stories, flash fiction, essays, paintings, drawings, photography, and digital art.

I am going to be completely honest here. I do not include a ton of opportunities that require a fee, and I rarely include anthologies or other works that pay almost exclusively in royalties. The reason is that I like to be able to tell my writers exactly how much they can make. I feel like royalties are too vague.

I am making an exception for this publication for multiple reasons. One — of course, a Medium member in our wonderful writing community, asked me to — and I am all about supporting other writers and creators — after all, that is why I make these lists. Two — I love the theme of positivity and upliftment. I feel like we can all use some of that in our life, perhaps, more than ever. Three — the royalties are 1% per piece, so technically, you could get more than 1%, AND they are ongoing, not a one-time payment. Four — Sometimes, writing to write or getting a great byline and clip for your portfolio is worth something.

So check it out and see if this is something you would be interested in doing. Even if you want to focus on paid opportunities right now, you can bookmark it and come back later when you have more time, as the deadline is more than 8 months away!
