Austin Ryan, Managing Editor at Team Liquid, is looking for pitches:
We're taking pitches at Team Liquid! We have some of the best rates in esports, wide range of titles, and the ability to take swings on stuff that isn't just pure Q&A or news.
Email me (austinryan@teamliquid.com) and Bonnie (bqu@teamliquid.com). Team Liquid or wider industry/scene topics preferred.
Our rates are $250 for standard articles/shorter features, $400 for multi-interview/longform features.
Please also include writing samples in your pitch email (this doesn't necessarily have to be published work).
Before pitching, check out our newsroom (teamliquid.com/news) to get an idea of the kinds of stories we run. A lot of it right now is TL-focused but we're also open to general stories about the games we're involved in, as well as the esports industry at large.
