Happy Sunday to all you writers & creatives 👋
How’s everyone doing?
It’s a wonderful day for Spain with Alcaraz taking the men’s Wimbledon title and Spain beating England in Euro 2024. A bit of a letdown for me as a Brit, but a well-deserved victory for Spain 🥲
We’ve got loads of part-time and contract gigs in this issue — a great way to supplement your freelance income!
🚨 ICYMI 🚨 I announced TWJN’s new Pitch Call Database earlier this week! This super useful resource allows you to see all the information you need to know when pitching — pay rates, deadlines, editor contact info, pitch guides, and more — all in one place!

Let’s get to it! ⬇️ ⬇️
This cannabis startup pioneered “rapid onset” gummies
Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public.
That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing.
Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.
