✍️ TWJN 202 | 36 WRITING OPPS

Happy Sunday to all you writers & creatives 👋

How is everyone this weekend?

We’re preparing for our annual freeze down here in Texas. I know I talk about the weather a lot, but it really is flabbergasting to me! Just this morning it was 75 degrees and sunshine, yet tomorrow we’re expecting a low of 28 🥶

But the show goes on! Today, we have 36 writing opportunities from WIRED, Launch Potato, REMEZCLA, ProPublica, Afar, NPR, Full Fact and so many more.

Premium subscribers! New year, new pitches! If you’re looking for even more places to pitch this year, check out issues here, here, and here where I’ve shared about 25 bonus guides for some publications that are always open to pitches (and pay fair rates!)
