On a rainy spring morning, it all became clear to Jonathan Ford. He rubbed his eyes tiredly while reviewing his most recent article pitches. Every one of them had been rejected by the editors he had approached. But that wouldn’t be the case for much longer…
His journalism career was stuck in a downward spiral, and he desperately needed a breakthrough. Since Jonathan lost his job at the Charmouth Gazette, he scraped by selling occasional stories as a freelancer, but nothing seemed to grab editors’ interest anymore.
Jonathan knew he needed to find something big and explosive to pitch, a real game changer. But in a small town like Charmouth, explosive stories were hard to come by. Still, he was determined to turn things around. And he would do so very soon.
