Pitches wanted (book/film reviews) | $1,000 to $1,500 per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: THE NEW REPUBLIC

Cora Currier, Literary Editor at The New Republic, is looking for pitches:

For the next six months, I've got the great privilege of filling in as literary editor for the print edition of The New Republic; I'll be assigning for books, mostly nonfiction but a few fiction slots, out in the second half of the year (after July 2025).

For books, I'm mostly looking for non-fiction (history, economics, social sciences, and reportage). The reviews can have an essayistic angle, bring in the writer's own experience or reporting, or consider multiple books on a subject in order to make a broader point. Send pitches to ccurrier@tnr.com

CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay $1,000-$1,500 for around 2,500 words. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.

TO HELP YOU CRAFT YOUR PITCH:

• Learn more about the publication: The New Republic was founded in 1914 as an intellectual call to arms for public-minded intellectuals advocating liberal reform in a new industrial age. Now, TNR remains more committed to its first principles and the need to rethink outworn assumptions and political superstitions as radically changing conditions demand. More information here.

• Read through its selection of recent articles/stories, categorized into: Culture, Books

• Review the submission guidelines here. Note that these are the publication's general guidelines to help you refine your pitch. You must still follow the editor's specific instructions above.

• Check out our collection of pitch excerpts on this page and find more sample pitches at The Open Notebook Database and at SuccessfulPitches.com.

• Do not forget to end your pitch with (1) a short introduction about yourself; (2) a paragraph highlighting your writing experience, relevant credentials and publication credits; and (3) links to your strongest work or portfolio, and online profile.
