When people want to move into the field of conservation writing, they’re often not sure where to look to find freelance writing gigs. Thankfully, there are lots of brilliant newsletters out there that regularly share freelance writing opportunities. These aren’t all focused on conservation but they include lots of brilliant opportunities that might be relevant to climate or environmental writing. And because people ask me this question all the time, I’ve shared a list of my favourites below.
