Pitches wanted (people, places, ideas) (worldwide) | ~$500 per article
Added 2025-04-06 17:20:05 +0000 UTCCOMPANY/PUBLICATION: DISPATCH
Jacob Furedi, Editor at Disptach, is looking for pitches:
Some personal-professional news: Introducing Dispatch — a new magazine fuelled by frontier spirit.
At heart, Dispatch is a home for deeply reported features and good stories told by good storytellers.
You can read more about its mission here: https://dispatch-media.com/worst-time-launch-magazine/
Dispatch's first piece will go live this Tuesday. After that, we'll publish two features a week from across the globe.
I'M OPEN FOR PITCHES — HERE'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Your article might take the form of a reported feature, a long-form interview or an investigation. It might be narrative-driven, or something more experimental. We’re open to pretty much anything — though draw the line at haikus (for now).
But do bear in mind Dispatch’s mission: to tell untold stories about people, places and ideas on the world’s peripheries — all with a double-shot of frontier spirit thrown in.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
We settle invoices within week of publication — if not sooner.
We cover reporting expenses, as agreed in advance.
We commission photography, so if you’re more comfortable with a camera than a keyboard, don't be shy.
We aim to reply to pitches within five working days. If we don’t, please feel free to take them elsewhere.
Please send all pitches to pitches@dispatch-media.com.
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: Reports indicate that this opportunity will pay £400 per feature plus reporting expenses. It is recommended that you discuss the rate(s) with the editor upon the acceptance of your pitch.
