The best high-paying freelance gigs of the week: February 10, 2020

I pitched four article ideas and two gigs today, so I’m feeling like I’m on fire right now. Ha! How about you? Are you pitching? If you’re looking for some good leads, I’ve got them! These gigs pay at least $50 an article, offer a full-time salary, or pay more than $20 an hour. They are also all remote (also known as virtual jobs or work-from-home jobs).

Note: I don’t know anything about these positions other than what I post. I weed out the seedy looking ones, but it is your job to be diligent when applying. Also, please don’t message me with questions about the postings. If a link doesn’t work the posting has probably been taken down because the gig has been filled. If you have a gig for freelance writers that pays at least $50 a peice or over $20 an hour, please contact me and I will include your gig in next week’s post.

Contingent is looking for writers

Pay:

FEATURES are longer pieces, roughly 2,000 to 3,000 words. The base pay for a feature is $500. SHORTS are, well, shorter pieces, roughly 800 to 1,500 words. It can be more like an op-ed, or a close reading of a primary source, or a scrap of your research you don’t know what else to do with. The base pay for a short is $250.

FIELD TRIPS are pieces that demystify the work that historians do. These can include interviews, object studies, stories about chasing footnotes, behind-the-scenes videos—Mr. Rogers at the crayon factory, but it’s history instead of crayons. The base pay for a field trip is $250.

REVIEWS of books (especially books by non-tenure-track historians), films, museum exhibits, television shows, really anything reviewable. If there’s a book coming out soon you’d like to review, we can arrange to have an advance reader copy sent to you. Reviews are roughly 1,000 to 1,500 words; the base pay is $250.

MINI-ESSAYS, roughly 200 to 500 words. The base pay is $75.

POSTCARDS from a conference you’re attending. The base pay is $25; read the CFP here.
