    Writing Side Gigs

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Stormsong07, Aug 26, 2018.

    Hey all, I am looking to supplement my current (somewhat meager) funds with some quick side jobs. And, of course, I am looking into writing ones. I got the idea from this list I found last year about greeting card companies that pay. I actually have one that passed the initial selection and is in the market review process for Blue Mountain Arts, which pays $300 if they accept it. (Only problem is, market review can take up to 24 months!)

    https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/make-money/8-companies-thatll-pay-write-greeting-cards-one-pays-300/

    Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had any resources for side writing jobs to earn a little extra money. Post them here if you do! I'm sure we could all use it.

    I've made reasonable money writing for the Hooked app... they keep changing their format and their payment schema, but I think right now it's about $1 000 for a 1K word story. But I'm not sure it's available to unagented writers? And honestly, it's pretty hard to write something interesting in that format and with that length...
