Freelance Opportunities for Freelance Journalists Like Me - Nov. 1st Edition
In a time when so many journalists are grappling with uncertainty, this week's post feels especially urgent. Freelancers across the industry are feeling the weight of financial instability, with many of us worried about finding consistent work, keeping our careers afloat, and simply paying our bills. I know firsthand how deeply this fear resonates.

That's why this week's roundup of freelance opportunities is more than just a list—it's a resource of hope. These leads could be the lifeline that sustains a freelancer for another month. It’s a reminder that opportunities *do* exist, and with a little persistence and community support, we can find work that both fulfills and sustains us. My goal is that this post brings a bit of reassurance and encourages you to keep pushing forward.
