Pitches wanted (Pride) | $200 to $300 per article
Added 2025-05-20 13:28:12 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: MATADOR NETWORK
Matador Network seeks pitches around Pride Month (June). Please spend some time browsing the various categories on our site to see what types of stories and topics we do and do not cover. We cover travel topics worldwide, but remember that most of our readers are based in the US.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Experiential stories
Reported pieces around travel
Stories about unique places, experiences, and destinations
Stories that appeal to a 20-to-40-something age range
Well-researched op-eds relating to travel
PLEASE DON'T PITCH:
Promotional articles (Don't pitch us "Why name of destination is the perfect family vacation/winter getaway," etc.)
Hotel reviews or roundups (Don't pitch us stories focused on a hotel or hotels)
Diaries/blog-style trip recaps
Stories that could easily be desk reported
Rates range from $200 to $300 depending on the depth of research and interviews, writer experience, and photo availability. We will be assigning articles on an unscheduled basis, based on both a compelling pitch and our changing monthly budgets.
TO APPLY:
Please share examples of relevant past published work (3-4 URLS and/or a portfolio link) and a brief professional bio
Clearly explain your pitch (tell us the story you're going to write, not just the topic)
Include a proposed headline that matches Matador's tone and style
Include your email address in the pitch
You do not need to include a proposed word count or deadline, your phone number, or links to photos.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PITCH:
Please do not follow up with editors via email. We have one editor who reviews pitches and often get 200-300 pitches per call.
You can only submit this form one time. If you include more than one pitch, please separate them clearly in the form. (A row of asterisks is good)
Don't use this form to propose anything other than editorial articles (no partnerships, social media content, PR agencies, etc)
We look forward to reading your pitches, and thank you!
