TWJN 98 | Heading home for the holidays ✈️

Happy Sunday to 5,076 motivated writers 👋🏼

How’s everyone doing?

Soooo I’m a little late today. But I think you’ll forgive me if you were also watching that World Cup Final. What a game!

There is really something special about moments like this. That was a real rollercoaster. There is something about sports.

And extra special about the World Cup. ⚽️

I’m been watching the game and writing this from JFK airport in NY. Heading back to the U.K. for the first time too long. So much holiday cheer in the air!

I’m looking forward to spending some time with the fam. It’s been far too long. 🤗

But before that.. we’ve got some writing opps to check out!

Stories of Space are *literally* sending a story into space and we’ve got a couple fellowships and internships in the Jobs section!

Let’s get to it! ⬇️ ⬇️

1️⃣ Resource of the week

A writing class for foodie writers

Anybody who knows me IRL knows I’m a huge foodie! I think there might be a few of you in TWJN too 😋

This is all great news because Brooke (editor at Eater) is running a free foodie critics class in 2023.

You can reach out to her with a few lines about why you’d be a good fit!

Check her out here!
