Yep, today there are 53 new jobs for freelance writers, editors and translators.
Why translators? I’ve actually been including jobs for translators for a long time - translation is an art I know little about… just enough to respect it. It feels like it’s part of writing to me.

Freelance Writers Appreciation Week

Someone in our forum told us that the second week of February is Freelance Writers Appreciation Week. That was news to me, but I often learn new things there.
