5 Best Job Boards for Remote Full-Time Writers

Are you reading this from a stuffy office where Susan from HR is definitely contagious and your cubicle walls feel like they’re closing in?

Maybe you’ve got your work laptop open in one tab and this post in the other — because you’re quietly losing your mind.

You don’t want to spend another year watching your brain melt under fluorescent lights. You want to work from home. You want to write in sweatpants. You want to be there for school pickup, sick days, and slow mornings with your dog curled up at your feet — not trapped in back-to-back in-person meetings about “stakeholder alignment.”

If you’re a writer (or editor, copywriter, journalist, technical writer, content writer — you get it) and you’re craving a full-time remote role, this is your chance.

You don’t have to settle for in-office jobs that drain your energy. And you don’t need to keep scrolling job boards at midnight, wondering if anyone is actually hiring remote writers who know what they’re doing.

The truth? Companies are hiring remote writers — full-time. Especially for roles in content writing, copywriting, editorial, technical writing, UX writing, and comms.

So if you’re ready to ditch the commute and start landing a real, remote, full-time writing job, here are the best places to find them.

How Do You Actually Find Remote Full-Time Writing Jobs in 2025?

If you’ve been Googling things like:

• “remote writer jobs full time”

• “work from home writing jobs”

• “remote content writer jobs”

• “remote technical writer positions”

You’re already on the right path.

Most people don’t land great remote roles through luck. They build a system: a few reliable job sources, a simple routine, and a way to apply quickly without spiraling.

Below are five of the best job boards for remote, full-time writing jobs — places where the listings are real and the roles aren’t all “entry-level” while somehow requiring 7 years of experience and a Pulitzer.

#1 — ✍️ Make Writing Your Job

Best for: Curated remote writing jobs that don’t waste your time.

This is the job board/newsletter built specifically for writers who want paid, legitimate writing work — with a strong mix of remote roles (including full-time opportunities).

You’ll see listings across:

• content writing + blogs

• copywriting

• journalism + features

• editing (copy, line, developmental, proof)

• technical writing

• ghostwriting and book-adjacent roles

• comms + brand writing

The biggest perk: curation. You’re not digging through a landfill of “write 50 articles for exposure” posts. You’re seeing real opportunities, fast.

#2 — Upwork

Best for: beginner writers testing the waters, experienced writers adding side income, writers who like systems.

Upwork gets a bad rap — but used strategically, it can be a legit launchpad for remote writing work. I’ve seen new writers land consistent blog retainers, newsletter gigs, ghostwriting projects, and even ongoing copywriting work through the platform.

That said, it’s easy to get lost in the weeds:

🔻 Thousands of low-paying listings

🔻 Spammy clients and race-to-the-bottom proposals

🔻 High fees and a pay-to-pitch system with “Connects”

The key is curation and positioning. If you know your lane, package your services clearly (ex: “B2B SaaS blog posts” or “founder LinkedIn ghostwriting”), and pitch with confidence, Upwork can absolutely work — whether you’re brand new or you’re building a more stable client roster.

Pro tip: We handpick the best Upwork writing jobs for you inside ✍️ Make Writing Your Job — so you don’t have to scroll past the $25-for-2,000-words nonsense.

#3 — Fiverr

Best for: plug-and-play writing offers and writers with algorithmic patience.

Fiverr is like Etsy for writers: a marketplace where you can list quick-turn services like “I’ll write 10 email subject lines,” “I’ll edit your first chapter,” or “I’ll write 5 product descriptions.”

If your writing service fits into a neat, repeatable box, Fiverr can help you get early traction.

But here’s the reality:

⚠️ Fiverr rewards speed and volume over depth and nuance

⚠️ Rates are often lower than what you deserve

⚠️ Bigger, higher-trust projects can be harder to land there

Most experienced writers I know outgrow Fiverr fast — especially if you’re building a premium, long-term career. Still, if you’re experimenting with service ideas or want to test demand before going all-in, it’s not the worst place to lurk.

And if you’d rather skip the marketplace hustle altogether: ✍️ Make Writing Your Job curates higher-quality writing leads so you can spend your time writing, not competing on price.

#4 — Freelancing Females

Best for: community + the occasional great writing or editing gig.

Freelancing Females is part job board, part group chat, part “I cannot believe this client just asked for 12 articles for $300” therapy session.

Their job board features freelance roles across writing, editing, marketing, design, and social media — with a solid number of remote gigs in the mix.

Use this one less as your daily job feed, and more as your supportive freelance co-working club — where you occasionally find a dream client on the bulletin board.

And if you want more consistent, writing-only leads: ✍️ Make Writing Your Job does the daily digging and sends the best opportunities directly to writers.

#5 — LinkedIn

Best for: finding remote writing jobs hiding in plain sight.

LinkedIn is still the best place to stumble into opportunity.

Sure, the “Jobs” tab helps — but the real magic is in the feed. Founders, editors, comms leads, and content managers? They’re posting, venting, and low-key asking for writers.

Here’s how to make it work:

• Search posts using keywords like “freelance writer,” “copywriter needed,” “looking for a ghostwriter,” or “need an editor”

• Set job alerts for remote writing roles (content writer, copywriter, editor, technical writer)

• Follow content directors, startup founders, agency owners, and editors at publications you love

Or, if you’d rather skip the scroll: ✍️ Make Writing Your Job includes curated LinkedIn leads (plus other high-paying writing opportunities) so you can apply faster and with way less doomscroll energy.

How to Actually Get Hired for Remote Full-Time Writing Jobs

Finding the job boards is step one. Standing out is the real game — especially because “remote” means you’re competing with more people.

Here’s what moves the needle:

1) Build a portfolio that’s easy to skim

Not a masterpiece. A fast yes.

Include:

• 3–6 strong samples in the niche you want

• clear context (what it was for, what you did, any results if applicable)

• a short “about” section that says what roles you’re targeting

2) Make your resume ATS-friendly and human-readable

Remote-first companies often use applicant tracking systems. Use the exact language from the job post (when it’s true for you) so you don’t get filtered out before a human even sees your name.

3) Get good at the writing test (without overworking for free)

Remote writing roles often include a writing test. Keep it clean, polished, and on-brief — but protect your time:

• clarify expectations

• ask about timeline

• keep it tight

• reuse frameworks/templates where you can

4) Apply like a person, not a robot

Even a tiny customization helps:

• 1–2 sentences proving you read the listing

• a sentence connecting your experience to their audience or voice

• links to relevant samples (not your entire life story)

5) Niche down just enough

“I can write anything” sounds like “I’m not sure what I do.”

Try:

• B2B SaaS content writer

• consumer lifestyle staff writer

• technical writer for developer tools

• health + wellness editor

• finance copywriter

• UX writer

Specific beats generic every time.
