Anna Borges, Editor at SELF, is looking for pitches:
Freelancers! I'm back editing at SELF these days, focused on lifestyle/wellness (mental well-being, work, culture, family, friendships, romantic love, sex, etc.), and I'd love a few more stories for May.
Specifically, I'm looking for reported and personal experience–based service (and the occasional opinion or cultural criticism piece). More information on what that looks like at SELF + rates at this link: https://www.self.com/story/how-to-pitch-a-story-to-self
