Pitches wanted (empty nesters) | $250+ per article

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: INSIDER

Deadline: 1 November 2024 

Frank Olito, Editor at Insider, is looking for pitches: 

I am looking for first-person essays from parents who have become empty-nesters and decided to reinvent themselves now that their kids are out of the house. Are you an empty nester who decided to travel the world, get a divorce, start a new career, go back to school, or do something completely unique? Essays should answer the question: What's next when you no longer need to parent? Starts at $250.
