50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (February 20, 2024)
Went to Shropshire last week, specifically Shrewsbury (which I discovered is pronounced Shrovesbury for some reason known not even to the English) and came away with one distinct impression: it’s muddy. We looked after chickens, and slopped through their muddy hutch every morning and afternoon seeking eggs. We walked a dog through muddy fields and muddy ponds and muddy, swampy former quarries. And we toured a school and bore witness to its huge muddy sports fields and pictures of muddy players. Darwin grew up here, and there’s something peculiarly muddy about the idea of evolution, I find. Things growing and mutating in bubbling puddles of warm mud seems apt. And when the sun shone, it shone down on vistas of brown mud.
Calls for pitches below.
