Thandiwe Konguavi, Editor at CBC Edmonton, is looking for pitches:
I'm looking for more First Person pitches. Here's another really relatable and beautiful First Person story I got to work on that published today:
"I felt connected to my Indian heritage at home. Outside, I created another identity.": https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/first-person-grandmother-culture-1.7332931
The rate varies but in Edmonton we pay $560 flat rate for a First Person piece. Email me directly at thandiwe.konguavi@cbc.ca
