Assignmint is a web-based platform to list freelancing work for employers and help writers find the right freelance job for them and standardizes the paperwork between the two parties.
It was launched in April 2012 and became usable as a public beta in June 2012. The secure system is accessible online at any time and from any place, enabling writers and editors alike to manage their work schedules with speed, efficiency and ease.
Assignmint offers free accounts to individual writers and editors and a premium subscription for editorial teams which provides access to a menu of extra features.
The intuitive dashboard enables writers to search through a directory of more than 15,000 newspapers, magazines, print outlets and blogs, which continues to grow. Publishers can add their publications to the directory.
There is also a blog offering advice to freelancers and the company hopes to open Assignmint to other freelance professionals such as academics and photojournalists in the future.
Assignmint accounts are open to freelancers around the globe, so writers and editors can benefit from this excellent resource too.
Probably an invoice will be processed if you don't already have an Assignmint account. Freelance writers and editors eager to experience slick and streamlined processing should sign-up to see just how effectively Assignmint boosts efficiency for both sides of the editorial desk.
