COMPANY/PUBLICATION: TALK DEATH

We are always accepting pitches from guest writers! We are especially looking for writers who can speak to death practices and traditions from equity deserving groups, the Global South, and Indigenous writers. We also welcome anyone living with marginalized experiences to send us their pitches.

We pay $0.20/word for 800-1200 words. Send your pitches to rian@talkdeath.com. Be sure to read other articles on our site to make sure your pitch will be a good fit, or that we haven't already written about it.
