Market Monday

Market Monday is a weekly feature that looks at markets for you to pitch your work. The idea being that, while the daily job leads we send are good for paying the bills, these markets will give you an opportunity to work on projects that truly interest you. Each week we’ll be focusing on two to five high-quality markets. We’re looking to showcase lesser known markets that still offer rates of 50 cents a word or more and have immediate needs for freelancers’ work.
