Pitches wanted (games, entertainment) | up to $200 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: SKYBOX

Will Borger, Co-Founder and Editor in Chief of Skybox, is looking for pitches:

I know a lot of folks just lost regular freelance work, and I just want to remind people that Skybox is taking pitches. We can try to help.

Typically, we're covering entertainment. Games, film, TV, etc. People can read the website to see what we like.

"It depends" is the answer on rates. Generally, we're going to pay more for games stuff because that's more work than covering TV, but the max we're going up to is about $200.
