COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER

Stephanie Pitera Statile, Lifestyle/Entertainment Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches:

Did you go on a dream vacation only to leave disappointed? Spend a ton on an underwhelming cruise? Regret moving states or countries? I am looking for pitches for short, 500-600 word essays.

Also recirculating our grocery-diary pitch form for anyone who may be interested. Looking for Costco, Trader Joe's, and Aldi shoppers. Bonus points if you follow the Mediterranean diet, a high-protein diet, love to meal prep, or have an executive Costco membership.

And finally, I'd love to hear from current/former:

• Tour guides in major cities

• Servers at steakhouses

• Employees of luxury-fashion brands

Rates start at $200 for 600 words. No deadline to get in touch. Submit via the pitch form.
