Do you know where to look for jobs for writers? Believe it or not, finding a writing job is easier than you may think. The Internet provides many different ways to look for a writing job.

The first idea that comes to mind when looking for writing jobs is to go to job-related Web sites like WritingCrossing. WritingCrossing is an internalization Web site that connects companies with individuals who are looking for work. But it also provides listings of individual temporary writing assignments as well.

When it comes to job sites like WritingCrossing, it is better to look for part-time or full-time writing jobs at job boards that are more specifically oriented to writers. Although some job boards cover a wide variety of jobs, some customized versions are just oriented to writing jobs.



Another whole category of Web site locations to look for jobs for writers are sites that are specifically oriented to part-time jobs or projects. The best way to use sites like these is to establish a standard search for the type of writing assignment you are looking for so that you will get notified by email when an opportunity comes up that matches your writing background. Using this email-alert system saves you time in looking for a writing job.

Another more-traditional approach for looking for jobs for writers is to check classified ads in local newspapers under categories like marketing-writing and copywriting. Besides local newspapers, marketing-oriented industry magazines are another good source to look for writing and editing jobs.

A more proactive approach for finding a writing job is to send direct mail letters to companies that are known to hire writers on a regular basis. There are many direct marketing organizations such as newsletter publishers that constantly need writers to help them promote their publication.

Writing jobs are also posted at classified-ad Web sites. There will be sites like this for every major city in the United States. You can just run a general search of ''writing jobs'' and look through the hits. If you get too many responses to a general search, try a more specific one.

Another way to find writing jobs is to spread the word among business associates and family members. Let everyone know that you are a writer looking for work and that if they know of any writing work or of companies who hire writers they should let you know. This can be a surprisingly powerful tool to help you find a job.
