Are you a professional wordsmith looking for communication jobs, possibly in public relations or editing? These sites can help. But also check out our blog post on writing and editing and consider choosing “creative” jobs if you retake the quiz to see options for people who are creative with words.
ServiceScape
ServiceScape connects freelancers looking for communication jobs in writing, editing, and translation. Freelancers set their own rates, which are generally defined by a 300-word page. But the site takes a steep commission on bookings. Learn more about ServiceScape here.
Publicist
Publicist allows freelancers to set their own rates for public relations, copywriting, marketing and creative services. (Creative services include being a creative director, art director or videographer.) The site takes no fees from freelancer pay. Instead, Publicist tacks a 20% surcharge onto client bills to finance the site’s matchmaking and bill collection service. Learn more about Publicist here.
