11 new pitch calls, 8 new jobs, including at the AP, NPR, & Forbes, 5 new contests, and 6 new residencies (including Erma Bombeck's Humorist residence and Bogliasco in Italy).

A new benefit of being a paid Unmentionables subscriber is a weekly potluck picnic of pitch calls from editors/pubs, writing jobs, contests, prizes, grants, scholarships, and residencies.

If you missed the announcement, you can read all about “Pitch, Please” here.

I will still send you my personal essays and poem-ish things here, too.

This is just an experiment for a new paid subscriber perk. If you are a paid subscriber, please let me know in the comments or via email (juliane@bergmannconsulting.com) if you find this resource helpful.

If you pitch and get a byline, please definitely let me know, so I can celebrate with you!

And now, ta da!

Here’s the eighth edition of “Pitch, Please” with 11 new pitch calls, 8 new jobs, including at the AP, NPR, & Forbes, 5 new contests, and 6 new residencies (including Erma Bombeck's Humorist residence and Bogliasco in Italy).
