For @businessinsider.com I'm looking for essays from parents of student athletes. Do you regret spending time/money on your kids' sports? Did they go pro, and was it worth it? Did they make it to D1? Did they get injured? Pros/cons? Pitch me by email in bio. #journorequests
Looking for first-person essays from people who landed jobs thanks to their parents. Did you use your parent's connections? Did they apply to jobs for you? Are you embarrassed or have no shame? Stories from the parent's perspective are also welcomed. Email in bio #journorequest
I'm looking for recent college grads (within the past five-ish years) who graduated with no job to write first-person essays. How did you feel? What were you worried about? What did you do? Who did you turn to? Pitch me by email in bio. #journorequests #freelance
