Pitches wanted (parenting, feel good stories) | ~$250+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER

Conz Preti, Deputy Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches:

I'm looking for personal essay pitches for Insider. Specifically looking for: 

• Feel good stories

• Comparing US vs other countries (did you move and realized parenting was easier?) 

• Having kids later in life/not having grandchildren 

• Parenting teens (we don't hear enough about this!)

Tell me a bit about why you’re the right person for this story, what the story is about, what the reader can take away. In the subject use Pitch: and a tentative headline.

Email me directly: cpreti@insider.com
