Dear Freelancewrite,
I'm burned out! Writing content for the web and copy for other people's bottom line is starting to get to me. You recently mentioned creative freelance writing in your newsletter. What is that, exactly? How can I get into that?
I made this list of markets for creative writers because I get a lot of letters like yours from writers who are tired of writing about things that don't matter to them.
Creative freelance writing is a combination of creative writing and freelance writing. You can explore other themes and genres, but still earn a paycheck. Examples include submitting short stories to paying markets, or procuring grants and residencies to cover costs while you exercise your creative muscles. There's really no limit. You're using your creativity, and your writing skills, but you're still freelancing, in that you're continuing to earn a living through many different kinds of projects.
