OPPS SUCCESS STORIES

Do I comb through the interwebs for opportunities because of a blood pact with the ghost of our founder, Eric Studyhall, that brings me international acclaim for my writing? I’m legally (and spiritually) not allowed to say. What I can say is that this pact has led to real people in the Study Hall community getting real jobs that pay real money, unlike the ghost money I am paid with by Eric. If you turned a pitch call into paid work, please let me know by emailing [email protected] with “Opps Success Story” in the subject line.

–Lela Moore was paid $450 to write an essay on Hurricane Ida flooding her new house and the dangers of climate change for Business Insider. The original rate quoted in an Opps pitch call was $200, but her rate was increased because of the broader scope of the piece.

RESOURCES

Relying solely on, say, the Study Hall Opportunities newsletter to find work is like trying to do the “Y.M.C.A.” dance alone. It’s sad and please put your arms down. Just as that song takes a Village of People to perform, freelancing also takes a village… of resources. There’s no need to feel down, so pick yourself off the ground. It’s fun to read all the R.E.S.O.U.R.C.E.S.

-The Labor Action Tracker by Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations is a comprehensive database of strike and labor protest activity across the United States. The database should be a key asset for freelance and staff reporters on the labor beat.

-The Rate Sharing database by the Freelance Solidarity Project has a searchable list of publications so you know what rates they’re paying for what kind of content. It’s an essential resource for making sure you get the best rate possible (or skip the stinkers who don’t pay well).

Want more resources? Check out the NPR Diverse Sources Database; Online Violence Research Hub; Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Journalists Therapy Relief Fund; Black Journalists Therapy Relief Fund; Developing An Investigative Pitch Guide; Britany Robinson’s Big List of Writing Deadlines; Study Hall Transcriber Database; Freelancing Guide/Editorial Contacts spreadsheet; #FreelancerPayGap spreadsheet; Pitch Guide Database; Chelsea’s Guide to Freelancing doc; Missed Pitches newsletter; PACER; Priya Krishna’s resources for food writing; Election SOS Report; and the Extremism Coverage Prep Guide.
