50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (June 20, 2023)
My first job in journalism paid £12,000 per year, which after tax meant I took home about £850 (around $1,000) per month. Astonishingly, considering I lived in London, I didn’t have to turn to crime to survive. These days the roles I take on pay 10 times that amount, and I still sometimes consider turning to crime to survive. Not nasty crime. Just a little bank robbery or two. And if I ended up in prison, I could freelance.
