Pitches wanted (Austin, creative community) | $500 per article
Added 2025-08-13 08:01:03 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: ATX WRITING CLUB
I’m hiring two freelance writers for ATX Writing Club.
Here’s the assignment: Go out into the city and interview someone doing something creative. It could be your favorite local chef, it could be an entrepreneur working downtown, it could be an artist, or even another writer. These interviews should be anywhere from 1500-2500 words. They should have a point of view, an opinion, and be told in a narrative style (think The New Yorker).
The purpose of this assignment is to share a bit about the creative community in Austin, and to unearth some of the soul of this city.
If that sounds like your bag of beans, I can pay you $500 per article. Not only that, but your essay will be sent out in this newsletter to thousands of other folks in Austin (let’s get some eyeballs on your work!)
If you’d like to throw your hat into the ring, just respond directly to this email and we’ll chat.
