50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (July 17, 2023)
I type this as a typhoon butts and rattles and soaks the world outside, twigs, leaves and branches torn from trunks, seawater twisting and mixing with squalls, making the rain taste like brine. I found a squatter under the table on our terrace - a golden orb weaver spider, sheltered, untroubled. She’d even found the time to build a small web. I found another in the plot of jungle just out front taking the full brunt of the storm, her web torn in parts, her legs clinging to what was left as it violently sprung about in the wind, her spider-mind possibly wondering why she hadn’t taken the place with the roof, like her agent suggested. More flying bugs here, she had reasoned. So much more opportunity. Meanwhile the squatter takes a small bite of her single fly, and watches the chaos.
This week’s calls for pitches below.
