50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (October 3, 2022)

Went down to the beach on Sunday with the kids and the dogs, and for the first five or six minutes I watched the dogs cavort and leap and sprint side-by-side and dash into the water and out again and generally have a great time, with a huge smile on my face and a beer in my hand. Then the following happened in the space of about 30 seconds: daughter’s eczema flared up from the brine and she started wailing to go home, a friend’s son stepped on a jellyfish, my wife remembered we had a guest moving into the Airbnb and we hadn’t yet cleaned, and the cavorting dogs spilled not only my beer, but two other guy’s beers too. The Germans probably have a better word for this, but allI could say was ‘ohforxxxssakeokayletsgohomethenjeeezus.’

This week’s calls for pitches below.


We're looking for ~750 words for $150 an article, frequency dependent on the fit of the writer

That’s your lot if you’re a free subscriber - buy me a jokey pair of underpants to see 40 more calls below right now, and a couple hundred each month…!

And read on if you’re already one of the hella awesome people who help me do this not just out of a masochistic sense of altruism.
