Freelance writing jobs aren't rare at Mediabistro, but they sure are competitive!
Mediabistro is heavy in full time, big city based positions advertised by big name companies and publishers that are sure to make the average writer's mouth water. But, those seeking short term, telecommute positions shouldn't give up on it entirely.
Using the left navigation bar, job seekers are able to sort positions. Telecommuting freelancers should begin their process by looking through the "project basis" jobs and the "freelance/project basis" jobs. Another strategy is to look for positions that are local to you, which may increase your chances of finding a position that fits your needs. Those who work vitually would also be well-served by looking at jobs that are in the "new media/online" field, as they are much more likely to be telecommuter friendly. Of course, those who welcome freelancers are likely to list their job location as "nationwide" (in the middle column).
In addition to freelance writing jobs, Mediabistro offers tons of advice, articles and hints for the freelance writer. Good luck with your search!
