I find the best remote writing jobs so you don’t have to.

Founded in 2023 and originally hosted on Patreon, Remote Writing Jobs (RWJ) has quickly become a trusted directory for top remote writing and writing-adjacent opportunities. Thousands of writers worldwide, including hundreds of paying subscribers, rely on RWJ for accuracy, transparency, and care.

Every listing comes from personal industry contacts, handpicked leads, and deliberate searches across the web. RWJ exists to help you navigate your writing career with less friction and more focus.

My Mission

Working writers deserve a career on their own terms, free from rigid schedules, office politics, and exhausting commutes. But finding the right roles can be time-consuming and overwhelming.

That’s why I built RWJ: to cut through the noise, streamline the search, and connect you to jobs that respect your time and talent. Here, you’ll find respectable rates, pay transparency, consistency, variety, and a seamless experience, all in one place.

My Role in the Process

I don’t do the hiring. I do the homework. Every role is vetted with the same questions I ask myself as a writer: What’s the pay? Who’s hiring? Would I apply? I don’t just share jobs. I filter them with a writer’s eye, eliminating anything shady, misleading, or dismissive of the craft.

This isn’t passive. It’s personal.

Since launching, I’ve vetted over 1,000 listings. Each one meets standards for fair pay, transparency, and real opportunity. RWJ isn’t just another job board. It’s a writer-funded, writer-powered resource designed to change how writers get paid.

Subscription

Full, daily-updated access is reserved for paid members at 15/month or $120/year, giving you 33% off the monthly rate. Every listing is chosen with care so you can trust your time is spent on opportunities that respect your craft.

This subscription can pay for itself with just one landed role and gives you a daily, trusted advantage in a crowded market. Your support keeps RWJ reliable, current, and worth your trust. It also gives me a stable base to continue the meticulous research needed every day to bring you the most worthwhile opportunities.

If you want to understand why I charge for this work, and what it truly means to be a writerpreneur building this space, I invite you to read my manifesto, The Labor You Can’t See: A Manifesto for Writerpreneurs. It explains why this work deserves respect, compensation, and above all, your consideration.

Job Types

Update Frequency

New opportunities appear every day, Monday through Sunday. Roles fill quickly, so I always recommend applying as soon as something catches your interest.

Pay Standards

While I don’t have a fixed threshold, I evaluate listings based on industry benchmarks, workload, expertise required, and long-term value. If a gig makes the list, it’s because I believe it’s a great opportunity.

Meet the Founder

Writing My Way Here: The Origins of RWJ

Named one of “12 Female Poets to Watch” by Nylon Magazinein 2016, I’m Melissa Tripp, a Boston-born writer and entrepreneur known for my poetry and prose, which HelloGiggles described in 2019 as “life rafts where we can all fit.” My work explores themes of empowerment through unashamed depths of vulnerability with transcendent poise and has appeared on ABC7, NFL Network, and more.

I taught myself screenwriting, developing several scripts with no formal training, and founded RWJ to make it easier for writers to find remote work while giving visibility to writerpreneurship.

Navigating the Deepest Loss and the Work That Endures

Remote Writing Jobs started as a way to give back to the writing community, but after the sudden and devastating loss of my mother in 2024, it became a personal lifeline. She was my biggest supporter and always encouraged me to keep this project going. Continuing this work now holds even greater meaning. While my own writing has taken a backseat, my commitment to building a space where writers can easily find remote work that pays fairly remains unwavering. When I’m not curating job listings, I’m focused on making sure the directory continues to grow and serve writers.

Thank you for being part of something that means so much.
