30+ Freelance Writing Markets to Keep You Busy Over Christmas

If you're anything like me, you find holiday times great for getting more writing done. Everything is closed so there is nothing to do but stay home and write (or go to the park, or the beach, or anywhere else outdoors to write if it's hot where you are, like it is where I live).

So here is a list of over 30 freelance writing markets that you can use for inspiration, writing practice, or to actually submit to and earn money.

Some of these markets pay up to $600 so it's worth taking a look through them.

Enjoy.
