The seventh and last issue of the Pinch Hitter, an interactive digital magazine, is now available to read via the link below.
The magazine was set up in response to the current pandemic and the knock-on effect this has, and will continue to have, on freelance writers. You can read more about the birth of the Pinch Hitter here.
SUPPORT THE FREELANCE COMMUNITY
In order to fund the Pinch Hitter, TriNorth Communications staff sacrificed 20% of their salary.
What we intend to do, having distributed almost £10,000 to freelancers over the last three months, is to keep on asking those freelancers to pitch to us, but guide them towards our other products – Wisden Cricket Monthly and the Nightwatchman, the Wisden Cricket Quarterly.
And we are asking you, our readers, to transfer your allegiance to these publications so that we can continue to support the freelance community. You will find subscription offers and a number of other offers throughout issue 7 as well as free sample editions of Wisden Cricket Monthly and the Nightwatchman. Please do take a look.
