How to Find More Education Writing Jobs to Pitch

This list is not exhaustive. You can find tons of other publications that offer education writing jobs.

In fact, every week, there may be even more publications launching that might love to outsource content creation!

So, where does that leave you?

…With a ton of opportunity!

Chances are, if education is your niche or passion , you read a LOT of content on the subject.

Websites, magazines, books, blogs, etc.

Each and every publication you read might be an untapped source of income – even if they don’t have writer guidelines listed on their site!

So, I recommend you make a habit of seeking opportunities to write for publications you admire.

Always check their website and the inside cover of magazines to find out if they are actively seeking writers. If so, pitch them!

If they DON’T have readily available info on how to pitch them, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t interested.

You just have to show them the value that you offer.

Then, let them decide whether it’s something they feel they could benefit from.

Which brings us to the next big thing – how to pitch publications.

Tips for Successfully Pitching These Education Writing Jobs for Teachers

Whether you are using a submission guideline or cold pitching a publication, there are a few best practices to follow.

Tip #1: Follow Directions

If you are following submission guidelines provided by the company – follow them!

Don’t just wing it and hope for the best.

Listen to what they want and then do things exactly as they’ve said.

More than likely, you’re not the only person pitching ideas.

You may not even be the only person pitching YOUR idea.

So, if they have to choose between someone who ignored a clear set of rules and someone who made their lives easier by following the rules, guess who they’re going to choose?

It’s one thing to break the mold and show your creativity.

But do so within the guidelines that make the process smooth for the people making the decision to give you a chance!

Tip #2: Do Your Research

Some people may think that pitching is all about numbers.

Yes, the more you pitch, the higher your chances are of getting work.

BUT, if you think that just pitching publications all willy nilly is going to work, you are sadly mistaken.

Let’s pretend that one person spent an hour using a basic pitch template and sent it to 30 publications.

Now, let’s imagine that another person spends an hour pitching 5 publications that she has read a few times.

The person who sent out mass pitches to 30 publications will be lucky to land a good-paying gig whereas the person who sent out 5 thoughtful pitches to publications she was familiar with might end up getting multiple yes’s.

So, the lesson here is to read the publications you want to write for.

Pay attention to the content they publish, their writing style, and the tone they use.

You will need all of that information to craft a pitch that is more likely to result in income ( and a better writing portfolio ).

Tip #3: No Fluff!

If you are prone to rambling, you need to break that habit.

Be clear and to-the-point.

Whether pitching or writing.

I hope that this list of education publications helps you on your path to make money writing from home on a topic you love!

Now here’s what I want you to do:

Pick one of the education writing jobs in this blog post (or another that you find!),  and pitch them THIS WEEK.

Then, share this post on social media to spread the love to your fellow educators!

Writing Jobs for Teachers: Your Translatable Skills

I used to point out to my students all the time—words are all around us. Behind many of those words is a writer and sometimes an editor, as well. Businesses need writers for everything from social media to website copy as well as writing technical manuals and more.

As a teacher, you most likely have many skills related to the writing jobs we’ll talk about below. Teachers are effective communicators, able to break down and expand on concepts as well as empathize with a variety of people. These kinds of skills can be applied to informational and technical writing, copy, content, and even marketing. But you don’t have to have a degree in English to break into these roles (although that doesn’t hurt either!).

Roles for Specialty Teachers & Subject Matter Experts

Our team frequently hears from a variety of educators with a very specific specialty. Teachers who have only ever taught history, music, or art, for example. We also hear from school counselors, early childhood educators, OTs, SLPs and more. These educators want to know: “ What else can I do? “

If you’ve only ever taught within your specialty, you might find you are uniquely qualified for roles as a subject matter expert. There are a variety of positions related to writing in the education space that might appeal to you, such as writing or editing curriculum and/or other educational materials.

But there are also roles outside of K-12 education where you can apply your knowledge. Niche content developed for websites, shows, magazines, and even social media are often developed with the help of a writer with the background knowledge and authority to speak in depth on a topic and communicate in a comprehensible way to an audience of non-experts. Sound familiar?

Building Your Skills and Experience

Whether you’re an excellent writer or a subject matter expert (or both), if you’re looking to make a career pivot, it can be helpful to build on your classroom experience. Building some additional skills outside the classroom can help you fluff up your resume as well as put together a portfolio of samples that demonstrate your writing prowess to hiring managers.

You may already have experience in writing in-depth lesson plans, creating curriculum, and differentiating materials. This is excellent, especially if you are staying in the K-12 education or edtech sector. However, if you plan to take a step away from K-12 education, it may be time to start upskilling to gain some additional experience.

You can get started with many of the roles, below, by offering your services in a freelance capacity via sites like Fiverr or Upwork. For other areas of focus, such as marketing, editing, or writing website content, it may be helpful to take an online class in the basics of editing, marketing, sales copy, or SEO to understand the ins-and-outs of what will be expected in this type of role. You can learn more about upskilling on this blog .

Top Five Writing Jobs for Teachers

Now, let’s take a look at the top five jobs for teachers related to writing. However, first I will point out that this is far from a comprehensive list, and many of these jobs may be presented on job listings with a variety of titles. If one of these roles is appealing to you, I’d recommend researching further by looking into job descriptions, related titles, freelancing opportunities, and even salary ranges to see if this is the right direction for you.

1. Curriculum Writing Jobs for Teachers

Do you have a knack for writing outlines and technical writing, as well as supreme time management and organizational skills? You may be able to easily transition into curriculum writing. Companies are continuously writing and revising curriculum to stay on top of trends and changes in education as well as new technology.

Curriculum Writers are tasked with researching and developing lessons, including materials, activities, and assessments. Your work may contribute to the structure of programs for early childhood, K-12, or higher education. A career in curriculum design can easily translate into various opportunities, including companies, organizations, and government agencies.

Whether you have one, specific area of expertise or have been teaching in general education, you have a deep understanding of how students learn, the needs of both teachers and students, and how curriculum is used on a day-to-day basis. This experience will be essential in your role as a curriculum writer.

2. Copy and Content Writing Jobs for Teachers

As a teacher, you already have experience in the area of children and education as well as any subject matter expertise. However, you may have a depth of knowledge in other areas you haven’t considered. Like knowledge of niche but popular topics like parenting, personal finance, organization, food/cooking, books/reading or other hobbies.

There is a huge volume of content being published every day on product websites, blogs, and visual media like TV and YouTube, and behind much of that content is a writer. Content and copywriters work in a variety of writing styles such as descriptive and informative writing about products and persuasive sales copy. Additionally, in this role you may be writing blogs, sales pages, proposals, pitches, reviews, ebooks, and much more. Some writers are credited as contributors and others are ghostwriters who customize their writing to represent an individual or brand.

Sarah Mill is a former educator and freelance copywriter with an understanding of what it’s like to be a teacher leaving the classroom. Her experience and empathy for this audience made Sarah a perfect fit as a contributing author and editor for Teacher Career Coach. You can hear her story and more about her new career in on the podcast: EP 35 – Sarah Mill: From Teacher to Freelance Copywriter

3. Writing Jobs in Marketing & Social Media

There is a lot of crossover between content writing and jobs in marketing and social media. When pursuing a writing job in this area, teachers will additionally need to show they can capture the voice of a company, empathize with the brand’s audience, and understand the balance of delivering value and selling – most often without being “salesy.”

These types of writing jobs may include planning and writing content, optimizing and revising website copy, developing copy for advertising or email campaigns, writing scripts, and creating social media graphics and captions. Working in marketing can be highly collaborative. Often the marketing and sales departments in a company work together to develop content and timelines, get feedback on progress and results, and make adjustments and improvements moving forward.

Since then, she has leveraged her BA in English and MA in Teaching, growing in marketing roles both in and out of the educational ecosystem. Natalie shares her tips for breaking into marketing as well as her journey on the way to her current role as Senior Marketing Manager: 67 – Natalie Ziemba: From Teacher to Senior Marketing Manager

4. Careers in Editing for Teachers

There are a variety of part-time and freelance editing and proofreading jobs that can help you get a foot in the door and build skills toward a career in writing. Full-time positions are out there as well, and many companies are offering remote opportunities .

Editing and proofreading jobs come in many forms from proofing product or job descriptions for grammatical errors to editing instructional materials for clarity. If you love to read, there are also positions for book editors including developmental, line, and copyediting roles as well as proofreading.

Depending on your specific role, some hiring managers are looking for editors with a strong understanding of the writing process, including editing and revision, the ability to evaluate story pitches, and develop your own ideas in relation to your audience. For any editing or proofreading role, you’ll need a solid understanding of grammar and structure and a great attention to detail.

Former teacher, Lacey Smith, says that while editors don’t have to be experts in every area, the ability to learn quickly, be resourceful, and make quick decisions is key. Listen to her story on the podcast: 69 – Lacey Smith: From Teaching to a Career in Editing .

5. Technical Writing Jobs for Teachers

Teachers are experts in giving clear, concise, step-by-step directions and explanations that can be understood with limited prior knowledge. If this type of instructional writing is your area of expertise, a job in technical writing may be worth looking into.

Technical writers create materials related to specific topics such as guides, instructions, and manuals to be used in a wide variety of settings. A technical writer may be in charge of putting together onboarding materials for a company such as internal FAQs and the company handbook. Or they may be creating specific materials for a company’s clients such as a how-to, operating or instructional manuals, or a concise getting started guide for a particular product.

While some teachers may find this style of writing a bit dry, there can be a lot of variety in technical writing, especially when it comes to subject matter. You don’t have to be an expert in one, particular area. In fact, in many cases, technical writers have very limited experience in using the products or services they’re writing about. Instead, you’ll be learning as you go and devising a plan on how to most efficiently and effectively communicate to your readers.

Next steps to a new career

One of the biggest mistakes that we see teachers make is that they try to  navigate this process alone . Often, they put off “researching” until the very last minute. Which sets them up for a very stressful application season. I want to help you get some clarity in the options available to you. To know EXACTLY what you need to do (and not do) in order to get your foot in the door. You don’t have to do this on your own. With the help of an HR expert with over 10 years of experience and a team of former teachers, I’ve created a guide to support you in the early stages of your transition out of the classroom.  Tap the button below to learn more .

Tips, Tools and Training for New and Aspiring Copywriters

Great summer job for teachers: copywriting.

Let’s face it: teaching is hard work and teachers don’t get paid nearly as much as they should. (Especially now.)

So, it’s no surprise that so many of our copywriting students are teachers, looking to turn their natural writing abilities into side income, summer jobs, or, in many cases, entirely new careers! And, the good news is there are plenty of copywriting jobs for teachers.

Copywriting is marketing or advertising writing : writing that is designed to sell or to persuade. “Copy” is the words that make up that writing, and copywriters are the ones who write that copy. Copywriters have a natural gift for writing , are resourceful, and hustle. That’s why teachers tend to thrive in this field !

5 Reasons Copywriting is a Great Summer Job for Teachers

1. copywriting is flexible.

While you can have a full-time job as a copywriter, many copywriters work part-time and as freelancers , scaling their amount work up or down based on their schedules. So, whether you want a week off by the pool or want to take on more work during spring break, you’ll have the control to do so.

2. Copywriters are Paid Well

This is one of the very few writing jobs that actually pays well . That’s because copywriters directly help businesses grow. This bottom-line impact means copywriters are paid

3. You Do Not Need Copywriting Certification or a Degree

Copywriting certificates do not prove you can write copy. Your copy samples prove you can write copy! You do, however, need training , a willingness to learn something new, and the ability to be coached.

4. Copywriters Can Work from Anywhere

Freelance copywriters only need an Internet connection to get their jobs done. Want to put in a few hours of work while lounging by the pool? Go for it. (Just make sure your laptop isn’t close enough to fall in!)

5. Copywriting is Merit Based

If you write great copy, you write great copy. Your age, gender, socio-economic status, and other factors do not matter.

The writing workshop

Schools often teach writing using a writing workshop approach, also known in Victoria as a writer’s workshop. This approach, originally brought to prominence by Lucy Calkins in the early 1990s, is now an established part of writing instruction in many schools. There continues to be a strong research evidence base underpinning this approach (see among others: Myhill, Cremin & Oliver, 2023; Webb, Massey, Goggans & Flajole, 2019; Hill & Crevola, 1999).

The structure of the writing workshop

While the processes of writing are an integral component of any effective teaching approach to writing, the principles underpinning ‘writing as a process’, and where individual interest and choice are fundamental to students becoming independent writers, draws on the work of Donald Graves (1975). 

This structure is designed to offer a simple and predictable learning environment. Ideally it should occur daily for 50 to 60 minutes.

Literacy Teaching Toolkit - Writing Workshop Conference - Lower Primary from DET Multimedia on Vimeo .

A typical writing workshop session

Mini-lessons are short and focussed of approximately 10 minutes. The teacher seeks to inspire and instruct the students as writers. A mini-lesson allows for differentiation and might focus on something the students are struggling with (such as an aspect of phonological awareness or phonics), and introduce strategies that the students can employ in their own writing.   

During the mini-lesson the teacher connects the day’s teaching to the ongoing work that the students have been doing and they explain the Learning Intention and Success Criteria.  

The teacher then explicitly teaches, after which the students have the opportunity to briefly engage/apply what they have just learnt.​ 

Substantive talk is an important part of this point in the mini lesson. The teacher ends the mini-lesson by asking the students to apply what they have learnt in the mini-lesson to their on-going work   

Students work independently on their written pieces.  Different structures and supports are in place to ensure students get support from their teacher or peers.  

The teacher moves around the room enabling students to showcase successes in their writing and receive assistance on areas that trouble or challenge them.   

Conference outcomes should lead to tangible strategies students can employ in future writing. Hattie (2011) and Hattie and Clarke (2018) remind teachers that such ‘within lesson feedback’ is most effective when focused on the task.  Often, checking the students take up of the new learning will characterise the conclusion of a student-teacher conference (“So from now on, whenever you write, will you remember to …”).

The teacher might gather small groups of 4-6 students who have a similar need and provide additional instruction and support.    

Here, the focus is on the classroom being a community of writers. As part of the writing workshop, students need the opportunity to:   

• share drafts
• comment on each other’s strengths
• advise on areas that could be clearer or more powerfully conveyed
• offer strategies for overcoming difficulties. 

Peer conferring can be broken down into writer-led or reader-led conferring for EAL/D students. In either case, students may use their home language to confer with same language peers. The teacher explicitly scaffolds:   

• the processes for reading one another’s drafts
• how to compose and communicate feedback.

An example of reader-led conferring:   

• Students exchange drafts
• Both readers have a checklist or questions beside the draft (see below)
• Both students note down comments and feedback while reading their friend’s draft
• In turns, both students look at the drafts and feedback sheets together
• Each reader explains their comments to the writer
• Orientation, including when, where, who, what
• Detailed physical description of the main character
• Detailed description of the setting, using at least four senses
• Every sentence starts with a capital letter
• Every sentence ends with a full stop
• Words are underlined for spelling checks

An example of writer-led conferring:  

• Writer and reader both look at a single text together
• Writer reads the draft aloud
• Have I included the title and author’s name in my review?
• Have I explained two interesting ideas from the book?
• Have I included two extended descriptive phrases?
• Is my meaning clear?
• What is the best thing about my draft?
• Can you suggest any improvements?

At the end of the workshop, the teacher ensures there is time to capture the work of the day, reminding the students of what they have learnt as writers.   

In some classrooms, an author’s chair is the location which allows for affirming and constructive feedback and advice to be direct to all students in turn.   

These occur throughout the year—often at the end of a teaching and learning cycle. They may replace the regular daily workshop as outlined above.   

Opportunities need to be made to recognise students’ writing achievements as they:  

• publish final pieces of writing
• complete a text in a new genre (a report, an argument, a poem), or
• receive a response to something they have produced for an audience. 

On some of these occasions, the wider classroom community (family members, caregivers, grandparents, etc.) can participate in the celebration.   

This both values the students’ achievements, as well as legitimises writing as a meaningful and important activity.   

The teacher’s role in the writing workshop

While student choice and ownership of their own writing is often foregrounded in the Writing Workshop (and certainly responsibility lies with the students as they plan, draft, revise and publish) the teacher’s role is fundamental to the success of this approach in the classroom.  The teacher needs to scaffold and model the entire writing process, so engaging in acts of writing by the teacher helps facilitate this:

• If the students keep a Writer’s Notebook, so should the teacher.
• If the students take the author’s chair to showcase their writing and seek responses, so should the teacher. 

Specifically, teachers need to think about the focussed, explicit teaching they can offer to the whole class, to small groups and to individuals.

Some of these instructional approaches (modelled writing, shared writing, interactive writing) are focussed on elsewhere in this toolkit and these can be deployed strategically to support students as they move through the process from planning to publication.

Theory to practice

Calkins and Ehrenworth (2016) outline key principles which inform the Writing Workshop approach: 

Children must be given ‘the luxury of time’ (p. 186) to become deeply invested in their writing, and draft, revise and publish their written pieces at a pace that honours and recognises the creative process.   

The ideal writing workshop includes ten minutes of explicit instruction, at least half an hour of writing time (conferences and small group instruction), ending with 5–10 minutes of sharing and goal setting with a peer (Calkins & Ehrenworth, 2016). 

Opening choice over both topic, genre and strategies used for writing provide opportunities for engagement and investment in skill development.  

Feedback is provided as students are engaged in the process of writing emphasising ‘the critical role of process in writing, collaboration, personal responsibility, authentic writing tasks, and a supportive learning environment’ (Graham & Sandmel, 2011 as cited in Calkins & Ehrenworth, 2016, p. 9).  

In the writing workshop, explicit instruction is provided through mini-lessons, conferences and small group work.   

Here, a whole class focus on a shared genre ‘employing strategies and emulating mentor texts of that genre’ provides a context for explicit teaching about the ‘craft and structure’ of the genre which can be used by students in their writing (Calkins & Ehrenworth, 2016, p. 10). 

Mentor texts or model texts are used to establish clear writing goals and to help develop independent writers as they learn to ‘transfer and apply what they learn from one writing opportunity to another’ (Calkins & Ehrenworth, 2016, p. 10). 

​The Writer’s Notebook

An important component of the Writing Workshop approach is the Writer’s Notebook which ‘creates a place for students (and writers) to save their words—in the form of a memory, a reflection, a list, a rambling of thoughts, a sketch, or even a scrap of print taped on the page’ (Buckner, 2005, p.4).

The notebook serves as a means to encourage young writers to value writing, where ‘seeds’ for a longer writing project require revisiting and rereading to locate ‘a phrase, a paragraph, a page’ which might be expanded and developed (Calkins, 1994, pp. 38-39). Ideas for developing a seed include:

• I think … I feel… I wonder… chart
• PMI chart (plus, minus, interesting)
• Y chart (looks, feels, sounds like..)
• three by three—list three-word phrases for three minutes
• capture what is important—try to capture feelings and emotions 
• drawings and sketches
• collections of artefacts in a ‘seed box’.

The generation of ideas is only the beginning. It is the teacher’s role to support the extension and elaboration of the ‘seeds’ which might become a more detailed plan, a draft or a published text.

While not all ideas will be seen through to a ‘final’ copy, it is the role of the teacher to monitor students’ writing to ensure experiences which progress their writing through the various processes of writing, and across a range of text types, are provided each term and across the school year. 

Some key points about the Writer’s Notebook

1.  A writer’s notebook is a tool students use to record the things they notice, observe, and think about.  Each recording is called an ‘entry’.  The entries can be any of a variety of ideas. The most common are:

• observations of the things happening around them
• descriptions of people and places important in their lives
• family stories, hobbies and other passions.

Children write best about the things that are important to them and what they are interested in. It is writing that comes from what they know and what they have experienced. 

2. A writer’s notebook houses ideas that writers can return to in order to grow ideas, restructure, rethink, revise, connect ideas and ultimately choose from a variety of entries to publish for an audience.  It supports the work of publishing.

3. Notebook writing encourages a writer to take to the ‘long view’. What might start off as a small undeveloped idea has the potential to be developed into something fully formed.

4. Students need daily sustained periods of time to write. The writer’s notebook helps give direction to those sustained times for writing, especially early in the year when establishing a classroom community that will support students’ writing throughout the year.

5. Assessing how the students are using the notebook might include:

• reading the recent entries in your students’ notebooks
• asking students to put post-it notes on the entries they would like you to read— give some criteria to the students for example, chose an entry you love, an entry where you tried something new, an entry that shows your best writing
• conferring with students and asking them to talk about the entries they have included over the last week.

Using a variety of languages and multimodal examples will support EAL/D students to develop rich ideas in their writer’s notebooks. Some options are:  

• illustrations or photos
• artefacts, e.g. movie ticket, zoo map
• storyboard or comic strip formats, whether on paper or digital
• charts or text written in home language
• a diagram or text written in English, with home language vocabulary and notes where helpful
• audio recordings of the student telling a story or explaining details
• transcriptions or notes written by a same-language peer following oral storytelling or discussion
• audio recordings or notes from storytelling or discussion with a family member.
