If you recently subscribed but haven’t seen this week’s email land in your inbox, check your spam filter to confirm your email address. There are a few new folks here who have yet to double opt-in, and I fear that you’ll miss out on these fantastic opportunities due to an over-eager spam filter!
If you’re new here, welcome!
I’m Abigail Bassett, and I’ve been a six-figure freelancer for the last ten years. I spent ten years as a Senior Producer at CNN in New York, and I have current bylines with everyone from The Atlantic, to Elle, National Geographic, Newsweek, Fortune, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc. Magazine, and a whole lot more. I’ve worked in media for the last 20 years, and I know how editors think, work, and read pitches.
Each week, I share high-paying jobs that are either HYBRID or REMOTE for professional journalists, writers, and communications professionals looking for real-living-wage work. I also include my own personal insights about which publications and companies are great to work with and which ones to avoid like the plague.
As it turns out, my subscribers' favorite section of the newsletter is Dishonorable Mentions, where I find some of the worst-paying, and most abusive jobs in the media business and talk about some of the issues I’ve faced when working with low-paying, bad bosses.
There is no question that the entire media landscape is changing, but I’m working to build a community of passionate, smart, and creative people who want to do good work AND get paid for it. I’ll be opening up a community soon where we can exchange ideas, share pitches, and help each other hone our craft.
