50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (September 11, 2023)
Does anything beat writing longhand into an unlined page? Page upon page of perfect blankness, an unsullied field of snow awaiting footprints, a smooth sand dune awaiting a lizard's run, a full tub of ice cream awaiting the spoon. To write then is to corrupt; to slash ugliness across a perfectly plain canvas. How enchanting is the unspoken idea, how beautiful the undefined potential, compared to the concrete slabs of prose we are forced to manufacture.
This week’s calls for pitches below.
