Happy Monday to all you writers & creatives 👋
Last TWJN issue of 2025! It’s been quite a roller coaster of a year for me. After a lot of selling, packing, and planning, my little family (myself, my wife, and our doggo!) moved over to the UK at the start of 2025. Then, as many of you know, I had a pretty gnarly fall a few months ago. It took a bit of time to recover, but I’m looking forward to starting 2026 off with a bang! Who’s with me? 👊💥
This end-of-year issue has pitch calls, writing opportunities, and media jobs from Off-Menu Magazine, Vulture, The San Francisco Chronicle, ESPN, Wanderlust Travel, beehiiv, Apartment List and many more.
