Solidarity with my colleagues at the Observer and the Guardian who are striking today and tomorrow. There is a virtual picket line, too. If you value the paper, its history, its staff, and freelancers like me, please support them by avoiding reading and sharing any articles for the next 48 hours.

Everyone at The Fence has painful experience of the freelance pitching grind, so we've always sought to make our pitching process as open and encouraging as possible. We also pay everyone promptly. If you feel like you might be our next First Byline, hit the mail below. We don't bite.
We read all the cold pitches we receive, and we've had at least one writer get their very first print byline in the last five issues.
Send us your best ideas to editorial@the-fence.com - we look forward to hearing from you

The forecast for the weekend isn't great due to #StormBert, so time to snuggle up under a blanket with a good book or to stream a movie.
